President Trump signed the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement on trade Wednesday, overriding the 1993 North American Free Trade Agreement and fulfilling one of his 2016 campaign promises.
"Today, we finally end the NAFTA nightmare," Trump said at a White House signing event while surrounded by hard-hat wearing supporters. The president argued USMCA would give workers a fairer deal by making companies invest more in the United States rather than outsourcing. "This is something we really put our hearts into. It is probably the main reason why I chose to live this crazy life."
The deal keeps most of NAFTA intact but adds provisions aimed at ending outsourcing of manufacturing jobs to Mexico, limiting the use of supply chains abroad, and opening up Canada to more U.S. farm goods, such as dairy products. The deal is a big win for the technology industry, which got protections for digital trade, prohibitions on forced data localization, and enhanced copyright provisions.

And yet with still have a deficit 4.6% of our GDP. I thought his tax plan was supposed to pay for itself? Seems like the cuts given to the wealthy are causing us to spiral into a continued debt. The first demonrat to get into office will have to raise taxes because of this. Either way we all lose.
