Economic adviser says Trump is 'seriously contemplating kind of a shift in Nafta negotiations' amid escalating tensions
Donald Trump may seek separate talks with Canada and Mexico in an effort to get individual trade deals with the two countries, the White House economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, said on Tuesday.
"He is very seriously contemplating kind of a shift in the Nafta negotiations. His preference now, and he asked me to convey this, is to actually negotiate with Mexico and Canada separately," Kudlow said in an interview with Fox News.
"He may be moving quickly towards these bilateral discussions instead of as a whole."
