Story summary

On Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump spoke alongside Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin in Dublin and claimed that Canada wants to make a deal with the United States very badly if it addresses his concerns about agricultural trade. Despite noting a good relationship between the U.S. and Canada, Trump criticized past trading dynamics, stating the U.S. has been "ripped off" by Canada for 50 years. When asked whether he was considering withdrawing from the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, Trump denied it but suggested that an agreement with Canada could come “fairly soon” if Ottawa meets his demands. Trump also drew a comparison between Canada’s desire to reach an agreement and Iran's, though he did not elaborate further on this point.
