WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Mexican and U.S. officials are close to agreeing they have resolved their bilateral issues in the renegotiation of the North American Free Agreement (NAFTA) but a major issue must still be settled, a top Mexican official said on Monday.
Mexican Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo said he still had to conclude a "very important" issue when asked by reporters if Mexico and the United States had reached agreement. He did, however, note that an announcement was "probably on the agenda."
Separately, a Mexican source familiar with the talks said it was "almost certain" there would be an announcement on Monday when asked if the two sides had reached an agreement.
