Trudeau says he’s encouraged by what he calls NAFTA progress
LONGUEUIL, Que. — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he has been encouraged by what he calls the progress made by Canada’s NAFTA partners, especially on automobiles.
“This was an important step to moving forward on renegotiating and improving NAFTA,” Trudeau said on Tuesday, a day after the United States and Mexico announced a deal that would replace the North America Free Trade Agreement.
“Our team is right now in Washington digging into the progress made and looking at what the next steps are.”
The White House wants Canada to endorse what President Donald Trump has described as NAFTA’s replacement, by the end of the week.
