CANADA/MEDIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump on Friday [8-31-18] confirmed off-record, hard-line comments he had made about the United States’ negotiating stance in trade talks with Canada, saying on Twitter: ‘At least Canada knows where I stand.’ The Toronto Star reported earlier on Friday that Trump had told Bloomberg News off the record that any trade deal with Canada would be ‘totally on our terms.’”
