U.S. stock-index futures fell on Sunday, signaling softer risk appetite as traders focused on growing trade tensions between the United States and Canada. MarketWatch reported the decline as it appeared the two countries were moving toward an all-out trade war.

The development matters for markets because Canada is described as one of the United States biggest trade partners, raising the prospect of broader economic spillovers if negotiations deteriorate.
