Canada is playing the long game on trade with the U.S., as it hopes to activate a Trans-Pacific Partnership with all signatories except the one in Washington, then get South Korea and Indonesia, and finally the U.S., post-Trump administration, to join, a former Canadian diplomat and original NAFTA negotiator said Nov. 7. “Initially, I thought not, but of late, I’m thinking, yes, and starting to hear from the Koreans and Indonesians that they’d be [the twelfth and thirteenth members], and then there would be a docking provision for the United States with a change in administration,” said Colin Robertson, now the vice president for the Canadian Global Affairs Institute, during a panel discussion at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Earlier in the discussion, Robertson said Canada won’t walk away from the NAFTA negotiating table, but might have to wait until the next election for the U.S. to drop its “insularity” with regard to trade. “We have no choice but to play the long game,” he said.
Mexico's Diario Oficial of Nov. 7 lists trade-related notices from the Secretary of Economy as follows:
A trade bill landed in British Parliament Nov. 7 that would lay the groundwork for a post-Brexit United Kingdom to be a part of more than 40 existing EU trade agreements as an individual entity, and a customs bill changing duties on goods is expected to be introduced to Parliament soon, the UK Department for International Trade (DIT) announced. The trade bill would establish an independent UK Trade Remedies Authority (TRA), ensure the UK government has legal abilities for gathering and sharing trade information, and enable the UK to independently join and implement the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement (GPA), including the revised GPA. The TRA would be authorized to provide analysis of trade remedies imposed in other countries or territories, and of the impact of such measures on UK producers and exporters, the bill text says. The bill would enter into force on the day Parliament passes it.
