U.S. ambassador delivers speech that shies away from ongoing NAFTA talks
MONTREAL — The U.S. ambassador to Canada delivered a cautious speech in Montreal on Tuesday that was devoid of any real substance regarding the important issues facing the two countries.
Kelly Craft spoke of the “shared sensibilities” and “true friendship” between the two nations but offered little on the ongoing renegotiation of NAFTA.
“A renovation of NAFTA can provide an example for other developed, industrial countries that struggle with anxiety over job quality and job growth,” she said at the event organized by the Montreal Council on Foreign Relations.
“I’m confident the current talks will result in an agreement that will spur even more innovation and job growth, and serve as a model for the world.”
