Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland said yesterday that she will go to Washington again for more NAFTA talks this week. But the data is not fixed yet. She told reporters “we agreed we would continue to talk in Washington later this week … there are some conversations it’s better to have face-to-face and I think it’s absolutely the right thing for us to meet this week.” But no details were given.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau indicated again that he’s prepared if NAFTA talks breaks down. He said “We’re not there yet … we might be days or weeks away now, it might not be.” And he insisted in protecting “supply management” which is one of the deadlock in the negotiations. The so-called supply management system of import tariffs and production limits that ensure high prices for dairy, egg and poultry product in Canada.
