Wilbur Ross comments
This is something I wrote about earlier.
There's no real way for Congress to pass a deal before the midterms or in the lame duck session. There's a 90-day statutory notice period from when the deal is completed and even a handshake deal this week needs to be flushed out. Then Congress has 90 days to consider it.
Canada is likely going to be blamed when talks miss the Friday deadline but there was no real hope of a deal anyway.
Other comments from Ross:
Auto provisions will draw business from Asia
Canada has made trouble in drugs and biologics for US companies
New deal will increase our trade with Mexico
