FP: U.S. President Donald Trump says he rejected a request for a one-on-one meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to discuss NAFTA this week because Canada’s tariffs are too high and the country’s negotiators have refused to budge.
In a wide-ranging press conference in New York on Wednesday, Trump also said, “We are very unhappy with the negotiations and the negotiating style of Canada. We don’t like their representative very much.” It was unclear who Trump was referring to but Minister of Foreign Affairs Chrystia Freeland has been the chief NAFTA negotiator for Canada.
“We are not getting along with their negotiators,” he said. “Canada has treated us very badly.”
