The comments of Rick Perry, US Secretary of Energy as follows:
• I trust that the United States, Canada and Mexico will end the NAFTA renegotiation successfully.
• I expect that the talks on the agreement will bring us a good and fair agreement.
This week begins a fifth round of renegotiation to reformulate the NAFTA agreement in Mexico City, and the negotiators in the three countries hope to make progress during this round. Officials believe there is still hope for progress on several issues, and negotiators will keep in mind the debate over the US tax cuts law.
