Canada is increasingly convinced that President Donald Trump will soon announce the United States intends to pull out of NAFTA, two government sources said on Wednesday, sending the Canadian and Mexican currencies lower and hurting stocks, according to Reuters.

The United States, Mexico and Canada failed to resolve any major differences in a fifth round of talks to rework the NAFTA trade deal, drawing a swift complaint from the Trump administration on Nov. 21 that the lack of progress could doom the process.

In anticipation of a national lab that will uncover the consequences of NATO's bombing, a Belgrade daily writs that similar research has been done before.

According to Vecernje Novosti, two large studies have been done to date - but "without any epilogue." Namely, as soon as alarming data emerged, everything was swept under the carpet, the daily said.

Talks to update the North American Free Trade Agreement intensified on Sept. 23 although U.S. negotiators looked set to once again withhold proposals for one of the Trump administration's most challenging issues.

The United States, Mexico and Canada signed non-disclosure agreements before the first round of negotiations to revamp the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Mexico's Economy Ministry said on Friday.

In the opening NAFTA session of talks, the United States did not give precise details of how much it wanted to boost North American content for autos, a source directly familiar with the negotiations said on Aug. 19.

The United States won't settle for cosmetic changes to the North American Free Trade Agreement, the top U.S. trade negotiator said, as negotiations to rework terms of the pact began.

U.S. President Donald Trump has called the 23-year-old trade pact the "worst" in history and vowed to fix it - or withdraw from it.

As the United States, Canada and Mexico kick off negotiations on Aug. 16 to modernize the North American Free Trade Agreement, the biggest uncertainty is whether a deal can pass President Donald Trump's "America First" test.

Negotiations on reworking North America's landmark free trade pact will begin next month in Washington, U.S. officials announced on July 19.

The Trump administration on May 18 launched a 90-day countdown to renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement, part of its aggressive stance towards trade that it charges has hurt U.S. workers.
