Canada on Sunday agreed to join the United States and Mexico in the trade deal that will replace the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Glenn Hamer, president and CEO of the Arizona Chamber of Commerce & Industry, said on Twitter that the treaty will enhance Arizona’s “competitive standing nationally and globally.”
“As a border state, this is particularly good news for Arizona,” he said. “Mexico and Canada are our Number 1 and 2 export destinations, respectively, and the ties between us are incredibly strong.”
