Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto shared his hope that concluding negotiations with Canada could still be completed “this Week”. So far, NAFTA is a trilateral agreement between US, Mexico and Canada – one of largest free trade areas in world. Trump had challenged NAFTA after taking office and renegotiated.
Furr details were not known at first. In future, however, agreement will be given a new name.
Punitive duties burden relationship
Canada is not currently involved in negotiations. This is caused by considerable tensions with USA. Lastly, US punitive tariffs on steel and aluminum imports had severely burdened relationship with two neighbors Mexico and Canada – now agreement between US and Mexico could possibly build a bridge for Canada.
Mexico’s President Enrique Peña Nieto was switched on by telephone when Trump announced agreement in Washington, D.C. A representative of Canada, on or hand, was not present. The US president said that negotiations with Canada would have to begin. He again threatened to impose duties on Canadian vehicles if Canada did not comply with wishes of his government. The next step will be to call Canadian Prime Minister.

A senior U.S. government representative said Canadian foreign minister would soon be expected to talk in Washington. There is hope that an agreement can be reached with Canada by Friday, too.
