Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Wednesday that it was possible that his government would reach an agreement by the end of the week with the U.S. and Mexico to sign off on their recent bilateral trade deal.

The U.S.-Mexico agreement reached this week excluded Canada but would effectively rewrite the North American Free Trade Agreement, creating potential turmoil among the trade partners. It is unclear if Canada could stop the deal, but several stakeholders, including Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, had urged that Canada be included to avoid any complications.
