Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau today said there is a chance of reaching agreement on a continental trade deal with the US and Mexico by the end of the week.

Just a day after Canadian trade officials rejoined talks on the North American Free Trade Agreement in Washington, Trudeau said, "There is a possibility of getting to a good deal for Canada by Friday," the day the US has set to have at least the broad accord completed.

But any agreement "will hinge on whether or not there is ultimately a good deal for Canada," Trudeau said at a student rally in Kapuskasing in northern Ontario.
