Mexico forces multiple rounds of Nafta talks

There could be between six to nine rounds of negotiations between the United States, Canada and Mexico in the event a quick deal is reached on a revamp of Nafta, Mexican Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo said.

Guajardo said the Nafta members were looking at avoiding gaps of more than three weeks between negotiating rounds with a view to making quick progress.

"If we calculate the times toward the end of the year, we're saying that this would give us a universe of rounds that could be between six and nine rounds," Guajardo said.
