Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland will fly to Washington on Tuesday to continue NAFTA negotiations. Her spokesman Adam Austen said she will be there on Tuesday and Wednesday. And he added that “we’ve said all along we are ready to go (to Washington) at any time.”
A spokesman for US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said Freeland would meet the U.S. trade chief on Tuesday, but did not give details of the meeting.
Mexican Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo said last week that there is around 40% chance of concluding NAFTA talks before Mexican presidential election on July 1. But Guajardo will not be there at the Tuesday meeting. Instead, he is in Paris for meetings of OECD and WTO.
