The leaders of Mexico and Canada presented a united front for trade talks with President Donald Trump, committing to continued trilateral negotiations after U.S. negotiators put forward a contentious proposal for a Nafta “sunset clause.”
Enrique Pena Nieto and Justin Trudeau spoke Thursday night in Mexico City as the fourth round of North American Free Trade Agreement talks continued in Washington. After Trump mused Wednesday about breaking Nafta into bilateral deals, his two counterparts called for the pact to be preserved and modernized and praised each other for aid provided during natural disasters.
