Mexico president repeats he hopes Canada will return to NAFTA talks

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto reiterated he wanted Canada to return to talks with Mexico and the United States in order to reach a trilateral deal in the revamp of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) after he talked with U.S. President Donald Trump by telephone.

Pena Nieto said on Twitter he hoped a trilateral accord could be reached this week after officials said the United States and Mexico had sealed an agreement on their bilateral issues in the renegotiation of the 24-year-old trade pact.

The Mexican president had said earlier on Monday before the call with Trump he wanted Canada to return to the NAFTA talks.
