Globe says Martinrea, others hear Trump upbeat on NAFTA

The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, Sept. 18, edition that Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland will return to Washington this week to take another stab at closing a North American free-trade agreement deal. The Globe's Adrian Morrow and Steven Chase write that Ontario Premier Doug Ford, meanwhile, will make his first trip to the United States capital on Wednesday to push Canada's negotiators to strike a deal. Canadian and U.S. officials were in talks over the weekend and on Monday in a bid to find compromises that Ms. Freeland and Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer can sign off on when they next sit down. Chief Canadian negotiator Steve Verheul was in Ottawa on Monday, but other Canadian negotiators were in Washington. Both Mr. Verheul and Canadian Ambassador David MacNaughton have been heavily involved in the behind-the-scenes push for a deal, says an unnamed source. The major stumbling blocks are the Chapter 19 dispute-resolution mechanism, U.S. demands to sell more dairy to Canada and Ottawa's battle to preserve protections for Canadian cultural industries. President Donald Trump said Monday he was hopeful of reaching an accord with Canada. He said, "I'm sure it will go fine."
