BBC World Service - Business Matters, Nafta: Clock is ticking for Canada in US trade negotiations

The clock is ticking for Canada to come to a trade agreement with the US

Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland cancelled a European trip to fly to Washington, DC for trade negotiations on Tuesday for the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta). Maryscott Greenwood is CEO of the Canadian-American Business Council. She spoke to us just as the first round of talks with the US Trade Representative started. British investments in Africa - there's certainly history there, but is there a future? As British Prime Minister Theresa May makes her first official visit to the continent, we look at how the two powers can get closer. We discuss why India has rejected foreign aid for it's Keralan flood victims with Sadanand Dhume, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. Fergus Nicoll is joined by David Brancaccio host of the business show Marketplace on American Public Media from New York and Sushma Ramachandran the former Business Editor of The Hindu from Delhi.
