BBC: Nafta: Donald Trump says US 'not getting along' with Canada
Donald Trump has said he turned down a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, putting a damper on high hopes for trade renegotiations.
Mr Trump's comments were made as Nafta talks continue to drag on.
"I must be honest with you, we're not getting along at all with their negotiators," he said at a United Nations news conference in New York.
He took aim at the country's dairy tariffs and reiterated his threat to tax Canada's auto industry.
"We don't like their representative very much," he said, which some took to mean Canadian foreign minister Chrystia Freeland, who has been leading the charge to have a new deal in place.
