The Trump administration said today it will move to sign a free-trade agreement with Mexico and could also sign the deal with Canada if a separate agreement is reached in time. That did not happen today.
 
U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said in a statement that the administration will notify Congress later today that it intends to sign an agreement based on the U.S.-Mexico NAFTA pact that President Donald Trump and Mexican President Enrique Pe&ntilde;a Nieto unveiled on Monday. Negotiations with Canada are expected to continue.
 
The formal notification is required for the Trump administration to submit a final deal to Congress under "fast-track" authority, which requires only a straight up-or-down vote for approval. The earliest a deal could be signed is 90 days from now. Officials will have roughly another month to finalize details - and potentially bring Canada into the agreement - before draft text must be submitted to Congress.
