Mexico on Friday evening will publish the text of its trade agreement with the U.S., giving the public its first in-depth look at a deal that would replace Nafta -- and potentially exclude Canada, amid a call from Mexico’s incoming leader to preserve the three-country pact.
The Mexican Economy Ministry plans to post the text of the deal on its website at about 7 p.m. New York time, according to its press office. At the same time, Minister Ildefonso Guajardo is scheduled to deliver the document to the Mexican Senate, which is tasked with evaluating and deciding whether to approve the agreement.
