星期二在蒙特利尔地区的一个活动上,
Trudeau said Canadian negotiators are pushing hard to conclude an agreement with the country's southern neighbours that is a win for all.
特鲁多表示加拿大谈判代表正努力与南部邻国达成一项互赢协议。
Our team is right now in Washington digging into the progress made and looking at what the next steps are.

announced they had reached a deal that would replace the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Trump has frequently labeled the 24-year-old NAFTA as a disaster for American workers

The United States and Canada have had long-standing disputes over duties on cars and dairy products,
美加在许多问题上长期存在分歧,比如汽车和奶制品关税问题,
drug prices and protection of intellectual property that are hampering a speedy renegotiation of NAFTA.
