U.S. lawmakers urged the Trump administration not to walk away from talks on a new Nafta a day after America’s top negotiator said the countries are still far from a deal.
“It’s important that the United States, Canada, and Mexico stay at the table to negotiate a new and modernized Nafta that grows U.S. jobs and helps us sell more ‘Made in America’ products,” Kevin Brady, Republican chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said Friday in a statement. Ways and Means is the main committee in the House of Representatives that oversees trade policy.
