The US and Canada have reached a new trade deal, along with Mexico, to replace the current North American Free Trade Agreement, or Nafta. The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement is said to involve more US access to Canada's dairy market and a cap on its car exports to the US. However, the joint US-Canada statement did not give details of the agreement. President Donald Trump has long sought to change Nafta, which governed more than $1 trillion in trade.
