They've already agreed. They would have never done that for anybody else but me, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

Trump and visiting Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke to reporters as they met in the Oval Office to discuss the US-Canada trade.

In the past, Trump has called India tariff king and a big abuser.

Last month, Trump had said that negotiations with India over a bilateral trade deal are coming along great and he thinks we'll have a deal with India.
