Carney described the talks as “a series of technical conversations” that \u2060were “very \u200bdetailed.” Trump said \u2060on Wednesday that the United States would do better without the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement on \u2060trade and that he would prefer not to have a new one, \u200bbut added that he was open to doing it.
