TRUMP'S NAFTA DEMANDS

Billionaire investor Wilbur Ross, chosen by U.S. president-elect Donald Trump to reshape U.S. trade policy, has informed Canada that rules of origin and independent dispute tribunals will be central to talks aimed at resetting the North American free-trade agreement.

 Mr. Ross said Canada would not have a “lot to fear” from a Trump presidency.

“You don’t hear him voice huge complaints about Canada, and there’s a good reason for that,” he said. “In the case of the trade between the U.S. and Canada, it is relatively much better-balanced than is the trade between the U.S. and Mexico.”
