NAFTA is Dead: Trump Seeks Separate Agreements With Mexico and Canada

• https://www.themaven.net, Mike Mish Shedlock

President Trump says Mexico and Canada are 'very different countries'. That is true of any two countries, even countries in the EU. And on that note Trump Raises Prospect of Separate Trade Deals With Canada, Mexico.

"I wouldn't mind seeing Nafta where you'd go by a different name... a separate deal with Canada... a separate deal with Mexico," Mr. Trump told reporters.

"These are two very different countries," Mr. Trump said, adding that in his opinion the U.S. loses "a lot of money with Canada" because of the existing framework, and loses "a fortune with Mexico."

NAFTA is Dead

NAFTA – at least as we know it – is dead. Donald Trump just killed it.

The reckless and crippling 25-per-cent tariff on steel and 10-per-cent tariff on aluminum that the U.S. President's administration just used to bludgeon Canada and Mexico (not to mention the entire European Union) is the murder weapon.
