Mexico and the US postponed a high level NAFTA meeting to Wednesday (originally scheduled for Tuesday yesterday). Politico quoted unnamed sources saying that the two sides are targeting to formally announce an agreement on Thursday. And after that Canada would be allowed to rejoin the negotiations.
However, as of now, there is not clear message that a deal is reached between Mexico an the US. A US Trade Representative spokesman said “there is no deal on NAFTA. There are major issues outstanding.” Mexico also denied the “handshake” deal with the US. Meanwhile, Canadian government also said it received no notification of an imminent NAFTA deal.
Eyes will stay on the postponed meeting between Mexican Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo and US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer today.
