New York (CNN) President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he rejected a meeting request from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau amid a bitter renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement, also known as NAFTA.

"Yeah I did," Trump said during a news conference amid the United Nations General Assembly in New York. "(Trudeau's) tariffs are too high and he doesn't seem to want to move."

However, Cameron Ahmad, a spokesman for Trudeau, rejected the assertion that a meeting was ever requested, saying: "No meeting was requested and we do not have any comment beyond that."

The President also suggested there is deep mistrust in Chrystia Freeland, the lead Canadian trade negotiator, and her team.

"We're not getting along at all with their negotiators," Trump said, warning that the US would soon go after Canadian auto imports.
