Trump's trade deal with Mexico and Canada is showing increasing risk of faltering in Congress
President Trump is fielding angry protests from Republicans and Democrats who are refusing to commit to pass his replacement for the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement.
In the latest obstacle, key Republican senators including Finance Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley (Iowa) have begun insisting that Trump lift steel and aluminum tariffs imposed on Canada and Mexico as a precondition to any congressional vote. Grassley said in an interview Thursday that he��d made the case directly to Trump at a recent meeting but that the president refused to budge.

Anyone who thought NAFTA2 was going to be real really didn't understand the reality of things.

When it comes to the US, IMO never think it's a done deal until the day AFTER it's a truly done deal.

Trump��s USMCA trade agreement would have a limited but positive impact on U.S. economy, report finds

An independent expert analysis by the International Trade Commission found the agreement �� which aims to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement slammed by Trump as the ��worst deal ever�� �� would raise U.S. real GDP by $68.2 billion (0.35 percent) and U.S. employment by 176,000 jobs (0.12 percent). The agreement must be ratified by Congress, where it has already met with criticism from Democrats.

You realise that if you rearrange it, it's CaMUS, right?

I'm sure old Albert would be flattered, especially since he essentially invented absurdism.

Be even funnier because neither Tiny nor any of his idiot followers would have the first clue what you were talking about.

It's hard to imagine but Trump and Trudeau just cut a deal to give each other a trade "win" as their mutual elections loom. It's a good thing that the tariffs are being dropped. They never should have happened in the first place but their ending now in this manner is political theatre.

But we aggravated the situation by then imposing tariffs on our own consumers too. Trump pushed some Harley Davidson jobs abroad by imposing steel tariffs on them. Seeing how Trump's tariffs backfired on his own people, you'd think Canada wouldn't have followed the same example.

I hope it fails. This is something a complete fool like Justin and his coven of radical feminists and globalists could come up with.

Trudeau and company have thrown our dairy and egg farmers under the bus, offering some scraps and handouts as compensation. Farming is an anchor industry in any integrated national economy.

NAFTA destroyed rural Mexican Agriculture in the 1990s which unraveled the social fabric and fomented the narco-terrorist states we now see in Juarez and Sinaloa. And it is directly responsible for the masses besieging the U.S. border seeking relief from poverty or the Maquilladora slave colonies. There was no immigration crisis on the US/Mexico border prior to onset of the Global Free Trade movement in the 1970s.

The mere prospect of unfettered access of Mexican Maquilladora assembled cars, with no unions or workplace regulation, led directly to the closing of the GM Plant in Oshawa earlier this year. Multilateral Free Trade deals are always a disaster for workers and a boon to financiers and traders.

Let it fail in the U.S.. And let's bring in a Canadian government with the imagination and courage to rebuild trading relationships on a bilateral basis, beginning with the intention of protecting an integrated, sovereign, national, industrial and agricultural economy.

The arrow of time only goes one way, coldstream. Sorry.

We solved the problem by forcing Trump to back down.
