(MENAFN) Former U.S. Ambassador to Canada said President Donald Trump has "messed up the clock" on getting the renegotiated NAFTA deal approved and the deal in its current form is dead.
After nearly 14 months of negotiations, a triple trade pact named USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement) was reached last fall.
However, U.S. Democrats said they won't back the deal without changes to it, and they will not allow a vote in the U.S. Congress until Mexico changes its labor laws.
Meanwhile, Canada has expressed that it will not sign the deal as long as the U.S.-imposed steel and aluminum tariffs are in effect.
