Despite President Donald Trump’s plans to punish carmakers who produce vehicles outside the U.S. and sell them to Americans that had been seen to be hindering his administration’s efforts to close the deal on a new Nafta this month, Canadian PM Trudeau is more optimistic.
Trudeau’s press conference comments:
We seem to be in a more positive moment on Nafta.
Encouraged by optimism expressed by US, Mexico.
We will only sign a good Nafta deal.

We are pushing hard for win-win-win Nafta deal.
Will continue with diplomatic engagement with Saudi Arabia, Canada will continue to push for human rights.
