Reuters Exclusive

quote:

Canada is increasingly convinced that U.S. President Donald Trump will soon announce that the United States intends to pull out of the North American Free Trade Agreement, two government sources said on Wednesday.

The sources said they expected Trump would make his move at about the same time that negotiators from the United States, Canada and Mexico meet in late January for the sixth and penultimate round of talks to modernize the treaty.

The Canadian and Mexican currencies both weakened against the U.S. dollar after the news.


HAIL TRUMP! AMERICA FIRST! MAGA! GO USA!

Not pleased about this.

We've already eaten the bad part, I'd rather keep it with provisions to revamp pass through value added rules.

But will it trigger libs? That is the crucial policy question of our times.

The funny part is that Trump didn't even announce anything. Canada announced this in speculation and caused their own currency to drop.

I wonder if they could find one single thing positive to say about Trump?

I think this helps Canadian exports.

There are members of Congress- both R & D who have done well financially because of NAFTA.


Kill it.

Pull out.

Drain that bleeping swamp.

Trump (and Canada) want a new deal that excludes Mexico.

Going to piss off a lot of baws on the OT. Ford makes a lot of trucks in Mexico. Chevy makes a lot in Ontario.
