WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said in off-the-record remarks to Bloomberg News this week that any trade deal with Canada would be "totally on our terms," the Toronto Star reported on Friday, citing remarks it had obtained.

Asked about the report, White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said: "The Canadian and American negotiators continue to work on reaching a win-win deal that benefits both countries."

Representatives for Bloomberg did not immediately return a request for comment.
