US-Canada trade deal ‘imminently possible,’ Freeland says

WASHINGTON, Sept 12, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – The United States and Canada could
seal a deal on a compromise to revamp the North American Free Trade
Agreement, Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland said Tuesday.

“Achieving that deal is going to require good will, good faith and
flexibility on both sides, and we think that’s imminently possible,” Freeland
said after the latest set of meetings in Washington.

“It is very important to inform” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in person
about the latest developments, she added.
