Sask. trade minister ‘concerned’ over NAFTA talks
Saskatchewan’s trade and export development minister is worried the federal Liberals may have botched critical negotiations with Canada’s largest trading partner.
Speaking Tuesday on Gormley, Jeremy Harrison said the news this week that the U.S. and Mexico had reached a two-way deal to replace the 25-year-old North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was worrisome.
“The reality is, there was a bilateral agreement reached between Mexico and the United States and we weren’t at the table. We weren’t there to protect our interests.”
Harrison said he told that to federal Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland.
