A day after no consensus could be reached on the new North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) agreement between American and Canadian officials, United States President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened to exclude Ottawa from the treaty, if a "fair deal" for Washington was not drafted. Trump also warned Congress that he would terminate the deal "entirely" if the lawmakers interfered in the negotiations.

"There is no political necessity to keep Canada in the new NAFTA deal. If we don¿t make a fair deal for the U.S. after decades of abuse, Canada will be out. Congress should not interfere w/ these negotiations or I will simply terminate NAFTA entirely and we will be far better off..," he tweeted.
