House Speaker Paul Ryan said the Trump administration has until May 17 to submit a final North American Free Trade Agreement deal if it wants lawmakers to vote on a revised agreement this year. Minnesota Pork Producers Association CEO Dave Preisler says it’s concerning there isn’t much time left to resolve the pact.

He says the good news is that negotiators have been meeting and there doesn’t seem to be many controversial issues to iron out.

Preisler says the longer the talks drag on the more uncertainty there is and the risk of losing those North American markets to other countries.

Whatever final NAFTA remake is worked out must be sent to Congress 90 calendar days before the executive branch signs the agreement.
