Trudeau Says He Won't Settle for Bad Nafta as Talks Continue

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is preaching some caution on expectations for Nafta talks, saying he’s encouraged by the latest optimism but won’t sign just any deal.

Trudeau spoke Thursday in British Columbia at the conclusion of a cabinet meeting, amid U.S.-Mexico talks that are said to be nearing a deal on autos, a key Nafta subject. Trudeau said the latest news has been encouraging while also saying there’d been progress in previous months, too. He said Canada was looking forward to rejoining talks but gave no indication of when that would be.
