North American Leaders’ Summit – hopes and intentions

Listen

United in promoting their trade alliance and relationship, Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper, U.S. President Barack Obama, and Mexico’s President Enrique Pena Nieto all praised the impact of the 20-year-old North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and suggested more benefits were to come.

Their comments came at the North American Leaders’ Summit Wednesday (February 19) in Toluca, Mexico. And a final communique from the three underlined that “Our engagement as a region with the rest of the world has a direct impact on the competitiveness of our economies and the prosperity of our societies.”
