NAFTA Negotiations to Begin August 16, 2017
August 2017
The Trump administration formally notified Congress of its intent to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement. The notification starts the clock on a 90-day period in which Congress will consult with the administration about its goals. Negotiations with Canada and Mexico will begin as soon as August 16 according to the administration.
“I would note that many of these negotiations will be bilateral and many of the issues are bilateral, but our hope is that we will end up with a structure that is similar to what we have now, if that proves to be impossible, we will move in another direction.”
- U.S. Trade Representative Robert E. Lighthizer
