Mexico’s leader said any change to a trade pact between the three biggest north American economies would need input from all the nations, after a report that the U.K. was weighing joining the accord.

“All of the actors have to look at this,” President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said Thursday. “We cannot jump ahead,” he said, adding that the agreement between the U.S., Canada and Mexico was “such an important achievement.”
