VOICED : Canada y EEUU podrian acordar TLCAN en 48 horas asegura Mexico

Mexico anticipates a trilateral agreement with Canada and the US to maintain NAFTA's format. Within 48 hours, it will be clear if a trilateral or bilateral text will be pursued. Guajardo notes a genuine effort between Washington and Ottawa to resolve differences. Mexico reached an agreement with the US in August, which President-elect López Obrador will not renegotiate. The US wants Canada to reduce protections for its dairy and cultural sectors, while Canada seeks to preserve the current dispute resolution system.
