This is the first US cabinet official that's talked about re-starting US-Canada trade talks. They fell apart last week after Trump had a tantrum about a Ronald Reagan ad.
The market almost entirely shrugged off the breakdown and Trump's threat of fresh 10% tariffs on Canada, so this isn't a surprise but there is some uncertainty on when trade talks might restart or conclude. There is a fairly narrow window now with US Thanksgiving and then Christmas coming.
