President Donald Trump said negotiations with Mexico on a new Nafta are “coming along nicely,” while telling Canada it will have to wait to re-enter the talks to modernize the three-nation trade pact -- hinting at his preference for bilateral negotiations.
“Deal with Mexico is coming along nicely. Autoworkers and farmers must be taken care of or there will be no deal,” Trump tweeted late Friday, adding that incoming Mexican president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador “has been an absolute gentleman.”
