May 14 (Reuters) - Stock futures pointed to a slightly
higher opening for Canada's main stock index on Tuesday, steered

over the trade war.
    A spokesman of the Chinese Foreign Ministry said China and
the United States have agreed to continue talking about their
trade dispute, while U.S. President Donald Trump also said he
thought recent discussions in Beijing would be successful.
