MNI BRIEF: Carney Says Resuming Trade Talks Will Help US Jobs

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Friday he's ready to resume trade talks President Donald Trump suspended via social media posts overnight, and workers in both countries will benefit from a deal in sectors like steel, aluminum and energy.

“A lot of progress has been made” in earlier talks, Carney said before departing for a conference in Asia. "We stand ready to pick up on that progress." Canada must also rethink its economy because U.S. trade policy has "fundamentally changed" and all of its trade partners now face some kind of tariff, he said.  (See: MNI INTERVIEW: Canada Truckers See Worst Slump In Four Decades)
