A top White House official says the U.S. and Mexico are in the final stages of reaching a deal to update NAFTA.
“The deal with Mexico is very, very close. The team has been working overtime, going through what I would almost characterize as the final details,” says Kevin Hassett, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers. “We don’t have a specific announcement to make right now, so you should stay tuned.”
Hassett says a deal with Mexico could also help move negotiations with Canada towards the finish line.
