In a joint statement, the U.S., Canada, and Mexico claimed “important progress” was made toward updating the North American Free Trade Agreement but didn’t state what exactly was achieved. The statement followed the conclusion of the second round of talks among the three countries to renegotiate the 1993 agreement.

“Over the past five days, more than two dozen working groups comprised of trade experts and technical officials worked diligently to advance the discussions and exchanged information and proposals. … Important progress was achieved in many disciplines and the Parties expect more in the coming weeks,” the countries said following the conclusion of negotations in Mexico City. The talks reportedly focused on rules-of-origin, market electronic commerce, the environment, and anti-corruption measures, according to various reports.
