Agreement reached by US, Canada and Mexico – again – to replace NAFTA

Canada, Mexico and the United States have agreed to a fresh overhaul of their quarter-century-old regional trade pact after negotiators approved changes to a preliminary deal struck last year, and officials will sign the new agreement on Tuesday.

The deal, which still needs the approval of lawmakers in all three countries, adds more stringent oversight of the pact’s labor provisions demanded by US Democrats, changes that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said made it an "infinitely better" deal than the one struck between the Trump administration, Canada and Mexico in 2018.
