A U.S. Democratic lawmaker said a meeting with Mexican officials on Tuesday geared at speeding up ratification of a North American trade deal was "excellent," after Mexico's president vowed union freedoms, higher wages and other labor rights.
U.S. Congressman Bill Pascrell, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee delegation that met with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, suggested all sides were getting closer to an agreement.
"We've all got to get our act together, and we're moving, we're making progress," he told Reuters after the meeting.
