Trump intends to sign Mexico deal in 90 days, Trade Rep says
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has notified Congress that he plans to sign a trade agreement with Mexico — and Canada, if it is willing — in 90 days, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said Friday.
Lighthizer made the announcement in a statement after high-stakes talks that the Trump administration and Canadian officials have been holding in Washington broke up Friday afternoon without a deal. Lighthizer said the talks will resume Wednesday.
The talks are intended to bring Canada into a new trade accord that would replace the North American Free Trade Agreement.
