As talks between the U.S. and Canada over a new North American Free Trade Agreement head into crunch time in Washington, the latest POLITICO Money podcast takes you inside the room for the high-stakes talks.


POLITICO trade reporter Doug Palmer discusses all the key issues on the table, from Canada’s support for dairy farmers to dispute resolution and cultural content protections.

The podcast also assesses how multiple scenarios could play out including the White House moving on with a bilateral deal with Mexico, a new NAFTA with all three countries as well as a possible confrontation between Trump and Congress if President Donald Trump decides to junk NAFTA altogether, as he has threatened in the past.

The discussion also covers just how frosty things have gotten between the White House and Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland, the country’s top trade negotiator on the NAFTA revamp.
