New NAFTA includes Canada: Mexico president-elect’s chief negotiator

MEXICO CITY, Oct 1, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – The United States and Canada have
reached a deal to keep the new North American Free Trade Agreement a three-
country accord, the chief negotiator for Mexico’s president-elect confirmed
Sunday.

“We celebrate the trilateral agreement,” Jesus Seade, who represented
President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador at the talks, wrote on Twitter.

“The door has been closed on the region’s trade fragmentation,” he said,
adding the deal “will give certainty and stability to Mexico’s trade with its
North American partners.”
