US Vice-President is responsible for collapse of NAFTA negotiations: Trudeau
Earlier in the day, Trudeau blamed US Vice President Mike Pence for the collapse of the NAFTA negotiations. He claimed Pence demanded that any deal would automatically expire in five years.
"I had to highlight that there was no possibility of any Canadian Prime Minister signing a NAFTA deal that included a 5-year sunset clause, and obviously the visit didn't happen," Trudeau said.
