Canada and Mexico appear to be giving ground on the Trump administration’s proposal that an end date be added to the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Mexico has proposed that instead of an expiration date, the NAFTA partners would hold renegotiations every five years on the 1993 trade deal among Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. Canadian officials have reportedly indicated that they are open to that idea.
