A top Canadian trade official says Canada and the U.S. are working toward reaching sector-specific trade deals on steel, aluminum and energy.

Speaking to reporters at the Canadian Embassy in Washington, where Prime Minister Mark Carney met with U.S. President Donald Trump today for talks, Dominic LeBlanc said the talks were “more detailed” than previous discussions and the two sides talked about "quickly" landing deals for those sectors.

Carney made his second visit to the Oval Office ahead of next year’s review of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement and as one of the world’s most durable and amicable alliances has been fractured by Trump’s trade war and annexation threats.

The free trade agreement was enacted during Trump’s first term, and it allows the majority of Canadian and Mexican goods to be shipped to the U.S. without tariffs.

But Trump has made it clear since returning to office that he wants to reshape the relationship, and he expressed ambivalence over the process as long as he feels like he’s able to improve America’s position.
