美墨達成新貿易協定
U.S. President Donald Trump says the United States and Mexico have reached a trade agreement, leaving Canada as the odd man out in efforts to revise or replace the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
Speaking Monday from the White House, Trump said the new deal will be called the United States-Mexico Trade Agreement.
Trump spoke to reporters as he spoke on the telephone to Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto. Trump called it a big day for trade and a big day for the country. Trump said:"This is something that is very special for our manufacturers and for our farmers, from both countries, for all of the people that work for jobs. It is also great trade, and it makes it a much more fair bill, and we are very very excited about it. We have worked long and hard, your representatives have been terrific, my representatives have been fantastic too. They have gotten along very well, and they have worked late into the night for months. It is an extremely complex bill, and it is something that I think will be talked about for many years to come."
The Mexican leader expressed hope to “renew, modernize and update” NAFTA while Trump’s rhetoric indicated he sees that 24-year-old three-nation deal as dead.
Canada, an original member of NAFTA, is not part of this deal. Trump said the United States would start negotiating with Canada very shortly.
Trump said under the deal, Mexico has agreed to immediately begin purchasing as many U.S. agricultural products as possible. The White House is also expected to formally notify Congress by the end of this week of its intention to sign a new trade agreement within 90 days.美國總統川普說，美國和墨西哥已經達成了一項貿易協定，這使加拿大在修訂或取代《北美自由貿易協定》(NAFTA)的努力中成了局外人。
川普週一在白宮發表講話說，這項新協議將被稱爲《美墨貿易協定》。
川普在與墨西哥總統奧夫拉多爾通電話時對記者發表了講話。川普稱這對貿易和對國家來說都大日子。
川普總統說：“這對我們兩國的製造商和農民以及所有爲之工作的人來來說都是非常特別的。這也是一項偉大的貿易，它成爲一個更公平的議案，我們非常非常興奮。我們工作了很長時間，也很努力，你們的代表人員棒極了，我的代
表人員也棒極了。他們相處得很好，幾個月來一直工作到深夜。這是一項極其複雜的議案，我認爲在未來許多年裏人們都會談論它。”
墨西哥總統表示希望“延長、現代化和更新”《北美自由貿易協定》，而川普的言辭表明，他認爲這項有24年曆史的三國協議已經死了。
作爲《北美自由貿易協定》的原始成員國，加拿大未參與這項新協議。川普說，美國將很快與加拿大開始談判。
川普說，根據這項協議，墨西哥同意立即開始購買儘可能多的美國農產品。預計白宮還將在本週末正式通知國會行政當局計劃在90天內簽署一項新的貿易協定。
