Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland said Friday “good progress” was being made in the most recent talks to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, following a meeting in Washington with her counterparts in Mexico and the U.S. White House officials meanwhile have been telling allies that the deal could be completed within weeks.

“We are certainly in a more intense period of the negotiations and we are making good progress,” Freeland told reporters. She added that didn’t mean that the talks would be concluded soon. “It will take as long as it takes.”
