Mexico says ready to update Nafta with U.S.

Mexico is ready to update the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and United States, its foreign minister said on Monday, following a spate of criticism of the accord by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Foreign Minister Claudia Ruiz Massieu told reporters that since taking effect in 1994, Nafta has boosted trade, created millions of jobs, drawn investment and made North America more competitive in the global economy.
