Democratic Party leaders say they will reject any revised NAFTA deal that doesn’t include Canada—assuming they win enough House seats to do so, Bloomberg News reports.
The White House has advised Congress last Friday that it intends to submit a new trade deal with Mexico to replace the current trilateral North American Free Trade Agreement with all three countries.
President Donald Trump says he would prefer to include Canada (on U.S. terms) but plans to move ahead regardless. U.S. and Canadian negotiators did not reach a tentative agreement today and are expected to continue talks on Friday.
Bloomberg notes that any pact isn’t likely to begin a 90-day Congressional debate period until next March. Democrats will have limited influence over the process if they fail to win at least 23 House seats in November’s midterm elections. But several Republican leaders also agree that Canada should be part of any NAFTA update.
