The Financial Post reports in its Saturday edition that the leaders of Canada and Mexico committed to close co-ordination ahead of next year's review of their trade pact with the United States. A Bloomberg dispatch to the Post says that at a joint press conference in Mexico's national palace, Prime Minister Mark Carney and his Mexican counterpart Claudia Sheinbaum touted advances they argued can boost the competitiveness of North America, home to a tightly integrated auto industry plus significant cross-border trade in energy and agriculture. Mr. Carney's embrace of Ms. Sheinbaum during the pair's first summit in Mexico City follows a recent push to build stronger ties after disputes over competing approaches to trade talks with the U.S., with both Canada and Mexico seeking to convince Trump to lower import duties on goods including steel, cars and farm products. The meeting presented Canada and Mexico as a united front after a sometimes frosty relationship first emerged between former prime minister Justin Trudeau and Ms. Sheinbaum's predecessor, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. Mr. Carney pledged to "move forward together, without question" with Mexico, while also emphasizing the value of North American free trade.
