President Donald Trump says he has rejected a one-on-one meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over the tariff dispute involving the two countries. He's also threatening to place tariffs on cars imported from Canada as trade talks between the two neighbors drag on.
Trump says during a news conference in New York that Canada has treated the U.S. "very badly" during the trade talks.
Canada was left out when the United States and Mexico reached an agreement last month to revamp the North American Free Trade Agreement.
The U.S. and Canada are under pressure to reach a deal by Sept. 30.
Trump is suggesting he may go forward with a revamped NAFTA without Canada. The president says it would be called "USM," for the U.S. and Mexico, instead of "USMC."
