Dairy cows stand in a field near Stayner, Ontario July 26, 2015. Pacific Rim officials meet in Hawaii this week for talks that could make or break an ambitious trade deal which aims to boost growth and set common standards across a dozen economies ranging from the United States to Brunei. Canada's refusal so far to accept more dairy imports is a major sticking point in the talks, infuriating the United States as well as New Zealand, which has said it will not sign a deal that fails to open new dairy markets.

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto gives a speech during his proposal for energy reforms at Los Pinos presidential residence in Mexico City August 12, 2013. Nieto on Monday proposed a sweeping energy reform that would amend the constitution to offer private companies lucrative profit-sharing contracts, seeking to lure investment to stem sliding oil output.The proposal calls for changes to key articles of the constitution that ban certain contracts and make oil and gas exploitation the sole preserve of the state.If enacted, the reform would mark the largest private sector opening in decades for Mexico's oil and gas sector, which was nationalized in 1938. The government will send its proposals to Congress this week. REUTERS/Henry Romero (MEXICO - Tags: ENERGY POLITICS) - GM1E98D03ZH01
