Canadian foreign minister Freeland on talks with US trade representative Lighthizer

  • Says making progress
  • Had important and constructive talks
  • Will meet Lighthizer again tomorrow, staff talks continue tonight
  • Much goodwill, commitment to getting Nafta deal done
  • Nothing is done until everything is done
  • Canada focused on getting a good deal, not any deal
  • Declines to comment on whether deal is possible in the next few days

OK, so it would be appear no agreement announcement is imminent. And so it goes on.

Come back again Friday for another TGI Nafta deal day (And the inevitable disappointment)
