Canada manufacturers put U.S. ahead of Mexico

Friday, November 18, 2016


Canadian manufacturers want their access to the U.S. market protected at all costs if Canada renegotiates the Nafta trade deal with Donald Trump, even if that means losing the trilateral partnership with Mexico.

Amid fears a Trump administration will tear up Nafta, the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters group is lobbying Canada's Liberal government to prioritize the U.S.-Canada trade relationship, saying a bilateral side deal with Mexico could be worked out separately.
