Story: Trump, complimenting the president-elect of Mexico and expressing more irritation with Canada, floats the idea of negotiating a trade deal with Mexico first, a separate deal with Canada "at a later time": thestar.com/news/world/201…
Trump has repeatedly mused about breaking up NAFTA into two separate deals, but this is the first time he has suggested he wants to deal with Mexico first and Canada second. As always, not clear if it means something or if he's just saying stuff. NAFTA talks continue.
Earlier today, Trump’s top economic adviser Larry Kudlow also reported progress with Mexico, and he repeated his criticism of the press conference where Trudeau criticized Trump’s tariffs, saying it was a press conference Trudeau “never should have given.”
The current Mexican government has repeated as recently as today that they want a trilateral NAFTA deal, not a separate deal with the US. An adviser to the incoming president says they obviously want a trilateral deal too. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Response to Trump's musings from Adam Austen, a spokesperson for Canadian foreign minister Chrystia Freeland:
