Trump says could envision trade deal with Canada without Mexico

Edgard Garrido

Trump, asked whether NAFTA was dead during an appearance with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the White House, said, "We'll see what happens." He also said in response to a question that he would consider a pact with Canada minus Mexico.

"We'll see if we can do the kind of changes that we need," Trump said. "We have to protect our workers, and in all fairness, the prime minister wants to protect Canada and his people also. It has to be fair to both countries."
