These are the same persons that are folding under Trump's tariff pressure that were supporting Trudeau's hard stand against the tariffs, Mexico is also folding even as Trudeau's team is in Mexico right now begging them to stay strong for NAFTA.

Republican congressman accuses Canada of ‘economic terrorism’

Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland was in Mexico on Wednesday to meet with top economic officials and with representatives of newly elected president Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who takes office in December.
Trump has mused again in the last week about splitting the North American Free Trade Agreement into two separate agreements, one with Canada and one with Mexico. Last week, he said he might try to make a deal with Mexico first and Canada “at a later time.”
Both the current and incoming Mexican governments have rejected this idea. On Wednesday, Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo said, “The essence of this agreement is trilateral, and it will continue being trilateral.”

López Obrador has long been a NAFTA critic, but his public rhetoric has been warmer in the last year. On Tuesday, his NAFTA negotiator expressed optimism that a deal could be completed this year.
“What I see…to be a very feasible expectation is that we’ll be concluding the negotiation in the next two months if possible, or in the next few months a bit further down the road,” Jesus Seade told Mexican radio, Reuters reported.

Mexico is using Canada for their own negotiation, Trudeau's promise to Bama to resist Trump is going to hurt us BIGLY

I just want to see how well he fixes his own messes. If he succeeds, just watch him take credit and his fans cheer even though all he'd need to do to fix his messes is to reverse his policies.

Zero tariffs would be a national security risk for the US. This alone is cause for impeachment.

In case anyone was wondering, there was no deal. All Trump did was announce that the U.S. and the EU would work on eliminating tariffs on non-agricultural, non-automotive goods.

That's been U.S. policy since the EU was the ECM.

He'll remove the tariffs he raised and the EU will reciprocate, he'll call it a victory, and his fans will cheer.
