Trudeau believes deal on renewed NAFTA eminently possible

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he believes there will be agreement in short order on a renewed North American free trade deal between Canada, Mexico and the United States.

Trudeau didn’t put any timeline on that belief when questioned about the negotiations Wednesday, only saying he believed a deal is “eminently possible.”

The prime minister made the comments on his way into a caucus meeting upon news of a potential breakthrough over U.S. demands about auto-parts rules. If the Americans back down on their demands for strict American-made content requirements in every car, it would alleviate a source of friction with Canada and Mexico.

The auto impasse hasn’t been completely sorted out, but hints of a compromise along with a general thawing in the tone of talks has injected a renewed sense of optimism in the talks.

Trudeau said his government is very aware of the time pressures imposed by both votes and is working hard to get a good deal.

There is significant interest on all sides to signing a deal that helps all three countries and Canada will continue to negotiate towards that, Trudeau says.
