Prime Minister Mark Carney said he welcomes Donald Trump's latest comments on a Canada-U.S. trade deal. Carney stated a deal could be reached, but the recent breakdown clarified Canada's position. He indicated he is not hurrying back to negotiations.

Bloomberg reports Carney's refusal to accept Trump's terms has left financial consequences to manage. The Prime Minister is now promoting Canada to global investors. He is also pushing for closer ties with the European Union, including a bid for associate membership.
