WASHINGTON, Aug 22 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday applauded an announcement by Canada's Mark Carney to remove many retaliatory import tariffs on U.S. goods and said he plans to speak to the prime minister soon.
"He's removing his retaliatory tariffs, which I thought was nice and we're going to have another call soon," he told reporters at a press conference in the Oval Office, adding he had a very good call with Carney on Thursday. "I like him."
Canada has been at loggerheads with the United States on redefining its economic and security relationship for months with little achieved.
