President Trump informed Mexican President Pena Nieto and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday afternoon that he will not pull the U.S. from the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) despite reports earlier in the day that he had considered doing so.
Trump's separate conversations with both North American leaders were "pleasant and productive," the White House said in a statement issued late Wednesday.
The three leaders agreed to proceed quickly with renegotiation plans as the initial review process comes to a close.

No need to pull out if they play fair.
ReplyDeleteThen he has already broken one of his promises. My question is, who blackmailed you? NAFTA and all of the other "free trade" deals have ruined this nation and have destroyed the middle class. A lot of the problems we are experiencing in this country are tied to these free trade deals that started in the nineties when the Clinton's were in office. I still like Trump and voted for him, but I am disappointed with this decision. NAFTA does not help the American worker.
ReplyDeleteHe absolutely NEVER promised to get rid of it. Stop trolling snowflake. You voted for Clinton.
DeleteManufacturing jobs actually increased after NAFTA went into effect. The decline began in 2001 when China joined the WTO.
ReplyDeleteReassured? He buckled after talking to them. Let's tell it like it us. I like our guy but there are some things he just doesn't get

ReplyDeleteTell that to all the Manufacturing workers at Airpax who lost their jobs in the nineties due to NAFTA. Or many of the other manufacturing facilities that either closed down or outsourced the work. China certainly hurt us, but that was all a part of that other Treaty call GATT. Your comment is BS!

ReplyDeleteBy supporting NAFTA, YOU ARE THE SNOWFLAKE AND A CLINTON LOVER!
Snowflake I don't support it but Trump never said he was getting rid of it. YOU said he did. You lied.
Delete3:41 Do some research rather than basing your incorrect beliefs on a local company in a non significant part of the country. BTW, GATT was formed in 1947. Nice try with alternative facts.
ReplyDeleteMr. Trump does what he is told.
ReplyDeleteBankers.
Give me examples I can research them maybe I will learn something. Please don't use CNN talking points thou as you no their not real news.
Deleteyour confused that was obama he paid their 4 trillion debt then didn't regulate them. Then he put clintons puppet in charge of federal reserve.
Delete6:47, you are correct, but the Treaty was revised on January 1, 1995 to the world trade organization. I remember one of the revision sponsors was former senator Bob Dole. All the trade deals have cost us dearly with lost jobs and a lost standard of living for most Americans. Airpax employed in Cambridge over 3000 plus employees at one time. Was a major employer. Owned by North American Phillips corporation. Phillips owned many companies. All broken up and sold into lots. It was not a non Significant company.
ReplyDeleteWe had manufacturing plants all over the U.S. One facility was in Frederick MD. My beliefs are solid. Your the one who needs to get your facts straight.
I'll bet you were one of those arrogant corporate a holes with a golden parachute from the corporation helping to consolidate the closing of these plants. A regular hatchet man! A regular legend in your own mind!
