The US has reached a trade agreement with Mexicothat would pave the way for overhauling the NorthAmerican Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), USPresident Donald Trump announced last Monday.

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普上周一宣布，美国已与墨西哥达成贸易协定，这将为修订《北美自由贸易协定》铺平道路。

"We're going to call it the US-Mexico tradeagreement," Trump said at an event in the OvalOffice with outgoing Mexican President Enrique PenaNieto joining by phone call.

特朗普在椭圆形办公室的一个活动上表示：“我们将称此协议为《美墨贸易协定》”。当日即将卸任的墨西哥总统恩里克·佩纳·涅托并不在场，他是通过电话参与的。

"We'll get rid of the name NAFTA. It has a bad connotation because the US was hurt very badlyby NAFTA for many years," he said.

特朗普称：“我们将弃用《北美自由贸易协定》的名称，因为多年来美国深受其害，该名称有着很不好的内涵。”

Pena Nieto insisted during the phone call that Canada also should be included in a final deal.

通话期间，佩纳·涅托要求，加拿大也应加入最终协定。

"It is our wish, Mr. President, that now Canada will also be able to be incorporated in all this. And I assume that they are going to carry out negotiations on the sensitive bilateral issuesbetween Canada and the United States," he said through a translator.

他通过一名翻译表示：“主席先生，我们的愿望是，现在加拿大也将能够加入这一协定。我认为他们将就加拿大和美国之间敏感的双边问题进行谈判。”

Trump said he would speak with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a little while andhoped to resume negotiations with Canada soon.

特朗普表示，随后将与加拿大总理贾斯汀·特鲁多对话，希望很快和加拿大恢复谈判。

"One way or another we'll have a deal with Canada. It'll either be a tariff on cars or it'll be anegotiated deal," he said. "Frankly, a tariff on cars is a much easier way to go. But perhaps theother would be much better for Canada."

他说道：“无论如何，美国会与加拿大达成协议。我们要么对从加拿大进口的汽车征收关税，要么会在谈判后达成某种协议。坦率地讲，征收进口汽车关税要简单得多，但对加拿大而言，与美国达成协议肯定会带来更多好处。”
