AGRICULTURE/CANADA/MEXICO/TRADE DEALS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump is now turning his focus toward cutting a trade deal with Canada after the United States and Mexico reached an agreement on Monday [8-27-18]…Canada, according to Trump, has also been in conversations about joining the new deal. However, Trump said right now they’re ‘not letting anyone else in the deal because of the fact we want to make sure our farmers are properly taken care of, and if they’re not going to be properly taken care of — we’re not going to do the deal.’ Trump said the United States told Canada that it would retaliate with tariffs if the northern neighbor continued to maintain its ‘barriers.'”
