United States (US) President Donald Trump said that negotiations with Canada were close to reaching an agreement and discussed planned cooperation in the energy and agricultural sectors.

Noting that they were working on a good agreement with Canada, Trump said, "We have a very good concept for an agreement. We're very close to a deal right now." Sharing his plans for the Keystone pipeline, Trump stated, "They're going to build the pipeline. They're going to pay for it, cover all of it. We'll give them the route, and the route has largely been determined."

Trump said that American farmers had faced high tariffs when shipping products to Canada and claimed that the new agreement would eliminate those tariffs. "Our farmers were paying very high tariffs to send products to Canada. All those tariffs will disappear. There will be no tariffs. Part of the agreement will be that our farmers won't pay any tariffs," he said.

Trump also addressed the importance of the Senate elections and made remarks about the Muslim Brotherhood. Presenting his allegations about the organization's influence within the party, Trump said, "We need to win the Senate. We cannot allow the Muslim Brotherhood to take control. When they have one or two or three votes, they assume they've effectively taken control of the party. The party has to comply with their demands. They can threaten the party and blackmail it into giving them what they want."
