The Dow fell 389.83 points, or 0.95%, to 40,829.00, the S&P 500 lost 43.48 points, or 0.77%, to 5,606.90 and the Nasdaq lost 154.58 points, or 0.87%, to 17,689.66.

Trump said he and top administration officials will review potential trade deals over the next two weeks to decide which ones to accept. In addition, Trump met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney for the first time, which yielded no immediate results.
