US President Donald Trump. Trump is threatening to exclude Canada from a new Nafta and proceed with Mexico only, despite pushback from members of Congress and powerful business groups. “There is no political necessity to keep Canada in the new NAFTA deal,” he wrote on Twitter over the weekend.

But if American lawmakers insist that Trump include his northern neighbour, US negotiators may feel the need to make a deal with Ottawa.
