WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 30th May, 2019) US Vice President Mike Pence in a statement said he looks forward to meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Ottawa on Thursday to discuss advancing the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
"Look forward to being in Ottawa tomorrow with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to talk about advancing the USMCA as soon as possible," Pence said via Twitter on Wednesday.
"We commend the Canadians for taking steps to advance this crucial deal that is a win for all countries involved."
