Canada and Mexico both need to agree to any updates to the deal, which the three countries signed a year ago.
Chrystia Freeland joined her two counterpoints for a three-way meeting in Washington on Wednesday evening. Two of her top deputies — acting U.S. Ambassador Kirsten Hillman and Canada's chief NAFTA negotiator Steve Verheul — joined the meeting. .
Seade and Freeland left the headquarters of the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative on Wednesday evening without announcing a breakthrough. But both officials indicated that they will remain in discussions in the coming days to wrap up a deal that the House could vote on soon. Neither would speculate on the timeline for striking a deal.
Seade said he plans to go to Canada on Friday to discuss more details with Freeland. Freeland indicated, however, that there are no plans yet for when all three officials will meet again. “We have a strong interest in having this ratified in all three countries,” Freeland said. “We are here to do the work needed to get there.”Nancy PelosiCanada is expected to agree to tweaks that are on the table. But Mexico is worried about some proposals, such as a request by House Democrats to allow for U.S. inspectors to make sure factories in Mexico aren't violating labor rules.
Labor enforcement has been the main issue holding up an agreement between House Democrats and the administration. U.S. lawmakers are seeking to ensure that Mexico fully implements its landmark labor reforms — and is held accountable if it does not.
