Mexico’s outgoing president stresses the importance of Canada being involved in the trade deal with his country and the United States.
During his final state of the union address Monday, President Enrique Pena Nieto said his country is promoting a trilateral agreement.
The U.S. currently has a deal in place with Mexico, but Pena Nieto is looking for all three north American countries to come together.
“Because we are convinced of the importance of Canada remaining as a commercial partner within the treaty,” said Pena Nieto. North America is more successful when it stays together. When each country contributes its strengths to make this the most attractive and competitive region in the world.”
Pena Nieto will leave office on November 30 of this year.
