Time is of the Essence in NAFTA Talks

U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer is hopeful that a NAFTA deal will be reached soon, but he told CNBC last week that because of elections, there is a narrow window for reaching a deal. Mexico will elect a president in July, and U.S. voters will go to the polls for midterms in November.

Lighthizer said the U.S., Canada, and Mexico can get something done in principle soon if they pursue the talks in earnest. The eighth round of NAFTA renegotiations is this month in D.C.
