U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Monday said major issues remained in talks involving the United States, Mexico and Canada to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement.

"There are still some very significant, open issues," Mnuchin said in an interview on CNBC.

"We'll see where we get over the next few weeks," he said, adding that he thinks there is still a desire among the three countries to reach an agreement.

"We're still trying to get a new deal done. That is a priority for the president," Mnuchin told CNBC.
