Canada Optimistic About Trade Talks

Canada is still open to trade, although according to the Foreign Minister, Chrystia Freeland, they have some “issues for me [Freeland] and Ambassador Lighthizer to take some decisions[.]” Trump wanted to make an agreement by Wednesday, so that it could go through the ninety-day reworking process before next year. Trump wants it finished before Mexico’s leadership positions get passed on. The new leader might have different ideas about trade, making them go through the entire process again, possibly with different results. Trump also stated that he will leave the World Trade Organization “if they don’t shape up[.]”
