states, canada, and mexico. show our viewers what robert light hazard -- robert lighthizer had to say at the opening. robert: use of the president about nafta, which i completely share, are well known. i want to be clear that he is not interested in a mere tweaking of the provisions and a couple of updated chapters. we feel that nafta has fundamentally failed many, many americans. here are some of the examples of what i believe needs to change. need to assure that the huge trade deficits do not continue, and we have balance and reciprocity. this should be periodically reviewed. on autos andularly auto parts, must require higher nafta content and substantial u.s. content. country of origin should be verified. the provision should be included in the agreement, and be as strong as possible. the agreement should have protective provisions to guard against currency manipulation. resign, respect our sovereignty and our democratic process. we should have provisions to guard against market-distorting practices of other countries, including third party and state owned. host: where, in what

. where trade officials from the trump administration are meeting with their counterparts from canada and mexico for the first time to discuss the future of the north american free trade agreement the talks come just a few months after president trump decided to renegotiate terms of the deal rather than completely scrap it but how much change can we expect in what trump has called the worst trade deal ever we have team coverage on nafta negotiations today boom bust in the washington at the white house alex mileage joins us from halifax canada i want to start with you has trump's rhetoric on now changed since he called it the worst trade deal ever. it certainly has changed a lot or halt during the campaign he famously called nafta the worst trade deal ever in the history of the u.s. trade deals and had a lot of negative rhetoric not only on nafta but also on t.t.p. . and just trade deals in general but once he was elected to office his tone really softened and then in april he announced that instead of scrapping nafta all together like he did with p.p.p. he would be open to negotiations so

go for canada and mexico? >> his tone was perhaps little combative. he spoke right after the mexican and canadian delegation where they both emphasize they're looking for common ground. they're looking for win-win-win. they're looking for kind of harmony between the three countries. then he said we will not take deficits anymore. i think overall tone was and contentious to get started. a fight if't put up the u.s. tries to get more content produced in america. fight if we keep focusing on the trade deficit especially with mexico. there will be a lot of side there. >> yesterday was the first day of the first round. how many days of negotiating, next?appens explain this process renegotiating nafta? the first dayas the first round. that runs through sunday. of them is behind throwed door -- closed doors. delegation speak with the press. on sunday we expect press statement on what was accomplished. then announce the second round which is in mexico city in september. be in ottawa in canada. maybe sometime in late september and october. the idea is to wrap these up at the end of th

do it. there was a nice piece published this morning by "the global mail" up in canada that says this is a great opportunity to secure north america's competitiveness. this comes with an enormous amount of anxiety, anxiety about whether or not this can be a successful negotiation, anxiety about whether the u.s. executive branch will stick with it, anxiety about questions of timing and political change. we also see this is an enormously complex negotiation, and many in this room has sent over the past few months, how can we possibly get this done in a six-month period, which seem s to be the preferred time period on the part of the negotiators, especially from the mexican and the american side? the canadians have a different perspective. of course, let me recognize my colleague, laura, who is around here somewhere. she may have stepped out for a second. she has been of enormous's support, and the timing question is one of the things that i think we may run up against the question of do we do it fast, or do we do it right? and that could be a very important choice, and i'm looking

was the takeaway on the first day of talks between canada and mexico to revise nafta. here with my what besideare looking for is bloomberg's canadian economy and team leader who joins us from washington outside the hotel where the negotiations are taking place. what happened today was the white house, i should say the united states, came out swinging whereas canada and mexico took a different approach. set the scene in terms of the contrast between the u.s. and mexico and canada. >> i do not think anyone is surprised with the bluster and rhetoric. i think that was anticipated going into the meeting. the question really is, i mean, what is the value of bluster in washington today? i think there is some calculation, certainly within the canadian side in a possibly on the mexican side that color has will prevail -- cooler heads will prevail in the talks themselves. there was plenty of rhetoric, but plenty of work being done behind closed doors as well that we are not hearing about. there is still a lot of optimism that things can get done. joe: we know where we have some sense of what
