WASHINGTON - Senior U.S. and Canadian officials were set to fly to Mexico City on Tuesday to work on the final changes to a languishing North American trade pact that could clear the way for a vote in the U.S. Congress before the end of the year.
The Trump administration and Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives are closing in on a deal following several intense days of negotiations with Mexico over potential changes to clauses concerning labor enforcement, steel and aluminum, biologic drugs and internet services. It needs to be approved by lawmakers in all three countries. U.S. Democrats have been reluctant to vote to give a political victory to Republican President Donald Trump.
They also have pressed for removal of a provision that grants big internet services providers liability protections for third party content, and are seeking to relax data protections for biologic drugs that they fear will mean higher drug prices. “I’m hearing very good things. I’m hearing from unions and others that it’s looking good,” Trump told reporters at the White House.
