Nafta Frays as Canada, Mexico Accuse U.S. of Flouting Rules

Oct. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Canada and Mexico are escalating their allegations that the U.S. is flouting the terms of the North American Free Trade Agreement in order to protect domestic producers.

Canadians are dropping what Prime Minister Paul Martin called ``the safe language of diplomacy'' and spurning new negotiations on a dispute involving U.S. export limits on Canadian softwood lumber. Mexico is publicly supporting the Canadians in the lumber case as it pursues its own grievance over a long-running sugar trade dispute.
