The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that the Trump administration will make wide-ranging demands to sweeten the North American free-trade agreement for U.S. companies in talks with Canada and Mexico that could start next month. The Globe's Steven Chase and Adrian Morrow write that U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer on Monday released a list of more than 100 negotiating objectives -- such as abolishing trade dispute resolution panels that have regularly ruled in Canada's favour, including on the long-running softwood lumber dispute, and giving American companies more access to Canadian government contracts while reserving the right to bar Canadian firms from seeking U.S. contracts under so-called "Buy America" provisions. President Donald Trump on Monday declared many free-trade deals were "stupid trade" and promised big changes over the next six months. "We're going to end up having a level playing field," he said. "If the playing field were slanted, like, a little bit toward us, I'd accept that also." The list of objectives, many of which were broad and vaguely worded, are only an early step in what is certain to be a complicated round of talks between the three countries.
