MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Canadian officials at talks to update NAFTA are very frustrated in the wake of President Donald Trump’s announcement he plans to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum, a union leader said on Friday after talking to Canada’s chief negotiator.
“The Canadian team is completely frustrated. It’s clear the entire tone of NAFTA negotiations has taken a step backwards,” Unifor boss Jerry Dias said when asked about his conversation with Steve Verheul, who heads the Canadian delegation.
