Mexico ready to talk Nafta with Trump

Friday, November 11, 2016


Mexico is willing to discuss Nafta with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump but may seek to circumvent the United States on a broader trans-Pacific deal if necessary, a top official said.

Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo said Mexico aims to persuade Trump how beneficial Nafta, which took effect in 1994 between the United States, Mexico and Canada, had been for North America, despite the American's criticism of the deal.
