NAFTA talks to move outside the capitals, with new destination: Montreal
MEXICO CITY — The NAFTA negotiations are moving to non-capital cities for their first meeting outside of Washington, Mexico City and Ottawa.
The destination: Montreal.
Two sources familiar with the negotiations says the next Canada-based round, in late January, will see the talks shift a couple hours’ drive down the road from Ottawa, to Canada’s second-largest city.
One cited several factors that prompted the Canadian hosts to shift the talks there. Some were political, and one was logistical.
