Bloomberg says the U.S., Canada, and Mexico are all on separate pages when it comes to a new North American Free Trade Agreement.Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says the administration is more focused on reaching a good deal rather than an immediate one. Mnuchin says it doesn’t matter if it’s passed in this session of Congress or the next one. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said last week that there was a good NAFTA deal already on the table.However, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said just hours later that the “governments were nowhere close to a deal.”
