Yup demential pedo fascist president will surely negotiate a fair deal with Canada and Mexico. I am sure it will go well.

The funny thing is that the USMCA was negotiated by Trump to replace NAFTA during his first term.

and was nearly identical to its predecessor which was signed by clinton with strong bipartisan support from congress. nafta’s origins date back to reagan’s campaign and his call for a north american free trade zone ~ 1979

Good point, as a Canadian I look forward to ending up with a better deal for us in the end.

During his first term, Trump negotiated and heavily praised the USMCA as a superior alternative to the “disastrous” North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which he said had offshored US jobs, among other problems.

It was a slightly tweaked NAFTA with a new name, but he wanted votes from people who were opposed to NAFTA, so we got a lot of political theater.

Kind of like corporate DEI, I think NAFTA was generally bad (well I don’t think DEI was bad but it was generally half-assed), but now it’s been forced on Mexican & Canadian economies removing it will be worse.

Welp, this will be fun to watch.

THE SHART OF THE DEAL

Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca on 02 Jul 02:42 next collapse

NAFTA may have helped Canada grow economically but only if we stayed under the thumb of the US and jumped every hoop when asked. Trump just took it up a notch with USMCA and now wants Canada to be completely subservient. It may hurt in the short term but it is time for the US to become ‘just another country’ and for Canada to continue to pivot away from them in every way.

We’re going to need to improve our deep water ports and the rail lines. Especially the rail. Ive heard that Churchill may seen some major expansion.

Is it possible that we just stop trading with the US, can we make that happen?

They are deliberately crashing the economy to allow the fascists to buy up the rest of society and privatize everything
