US and Canadian negotiators to work out deal on NAFTA to hold informal talks on UN assembly

U.S. and Canadian negotiators trying to work out a deal on NAFTA are "very likely" to hold informal talks on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly meeting in the next few days, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Sunday.

Trudeau told reporters in Montreal that no decision had been made about a possible meeting. Senior officials from both countries who have been taking part in the talks are due to be in New York on Monday and Tuesday.
