Possible NAFTA headway on autos

Signals of a possible breakthrough in one of the biggest sticking points in NAFTA discussions emerged after Canada joined Mexico in indicating room for negotiation in the auto sector. The development came one day after markets dipped on Canadian fears that President Donald Trump would walk away, and it suggests officials are looking for progress in coming talks in Montreal. Canada is preparing new talks related to autos, two government officials said, speaking on condition they not be identified. Mexico has also signaled there’s room for a breakthrough on autos, after the U.S. unveiled contentious proposals in previous discussions.
