Ministers from Canada and Mexico on Monday stressed that the North American Free Trade Agreement should remain a trilateral pact and derided a U.S. proposal for a so-called "sunset clause" that would end the deal after five years.

Freeland noted she had spoken with U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer on Monday.
