**Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says he had a "good conversation" with President Trump regarding the future of U.S.-Canada trade.
Carney says this builds on recent discussions on mutually beneficial trade deal that would create jobs for our workers, boost affordability for families, and fully respect Canada's languages, culture, and sovereignty.
After talks imploded in August, Trump has been making strides to de-escalate the trade war with Canada.
