How to create outlook signature

the US and Mexico are said to be making progress on NAFTA specifically on new rules for the auto sector in Canada is watching and waiting for its chance to rejoin the talks even though Donald Trump suggested he's in no rush to get a deal done and Kay Simpson is here with the latest hey Katie thanks for being with us ah what is the latest what's happening at they know she's negotiating table well there was a report late yesterday from American an American publication that said that Mexico and the United States might be in a position where they could announce some sort of handshake agreement on Thursday which could possibly mean that they've reached an agreement around rules for the auto sector that's one of the most important aspects of the NAFTA negotiation process and there had been reports that Donald Trump was going to carve some time out of his day on Thursday to announce that they'd reach that sort of milestone and after negotiations today when the Mexican and the Americans showed up at the building where these talks are being held in Washington that of course was the center of the focus of questions for all the reporters who were camped out in front of that building on those red steps there when the Mexican delegation headed in they suggested that yes they have made progress and yes they are getting closer to font reaching an agreement on that aspect of the deal and then perhaps Canada will get invited back to the negotiating table we're doing here is trying to get and solve the issues that are most important between the u.s. that will be water lateral dealing with I think that the hi shake happens so Mexico is trying to sort of downplay okay any sort of handshake agreement that'll happen when it's all done but we know that there are some bigger issues that need to be dealt with it's not just a deal about the auto sector speaking of which what is Canada saying about all this well a Christian Freeland who of course is in BC for the Liberal cabinet retreat she seemed to be optimistic about what the Mexicans and what the Americans are saying she says she's in close in close contact with both her Mexican and American counterpart and it seems that she's anxious to get back to the negotiating table we are very encouraged by what we're hearing from our NAFTA partners in Canada is looking forward to joining the negotiation and a swift conclusion of the NAFTA negotiations but remember a swift conclusion is probably a long way away yes they might be making progress on the auto sector auto sector is the most important aspect of this but there are still some key issues that haven't been dealt with yet the sunset clause government procurement dispute resolution all of those issues requires all three countries to sign off and that hasn't happened yet all right thanks a lot Katie thank you CBC is Katie Simpson
