What BBN said about it
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorCanada's prime minister says trade talks with the Trump administration have picked up, and he says the reason is that Washington is coming around to Canada's side.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorGlobal News sources say Trump has announced deals before and then blown them up, like in August, and the midterms are November third.
