Canada, US beat midnight deadline, reach NAFTA deal
The United States and Canada reached a deal to update NAFTA and keep it a trilateral pact with Mexico, beating a midnight deadline with agreements to boost U.S. access to Canada`s dairy market and protect Canada from possible U.S. autos tariffs, two Canadian sources with direct knowledge of the talks said on Sunday.
U.S. President Donald Trump`s administration has said Canada must sign on to the text of the updated NAFTA by a midnight Sunday deadline (0400 GMT Monday) or face exclusion from the pact. Image Source: Reuters
