Donald Trump says a trade deal involving Canada could be reached “fairly soon,” and he downplays the idea that the United States would leave the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). The comments come as he is asked about whether he intends to have the US withdraw from the trade pact.
The remarks are made during a meeting in Dublin with Irish Prime Minister Michel Martin. Across the reported coverage provided, the focus is on Trump’s timing for a Canada-related agreement and his response to questions about USMCA exit, rather than on any specific negotiated terms. The same outlet frames the exchange as an attempt to ease concerns about withdrawal while signaling progress toward a separate or related Canada deal.
No additional sources are included here to confirm differing angles, disputed details, or responses from Canadian, Mexican, or US trade officials.
