i hope we could discuss vs I hope we can discuss

Both phrases are correct, but are used in slightly different contexts. 'I hope we could discuss' is more hypothetical and implies a wish that may not be fulfilled, while 'I hope we can discuss' is more direct and implies a possibility of discussion. The choice between the two phrases depends on the level of certainty or possibility you'd like to convey.
