Hey there. I didn't say that at all, but okay. It'll be painful and it will lead to higher prices but I don't think it's quite as bad as it would have been even twenty years ago.

Canada just a signed a trade deal with the EU.
There are ongoing negotiations with China.
I imagine a deal with Mexico could be done quickly.
Daily border trade with the US makes a lot of money for both sides.
I really don't see the Canadian government capitulating on any demands derived from the insane protectionism that Trump espouses.

Yeah in that sense there's no putting that genie back in the bottle, I just wonder if it's a thing we should've done in the first place.

It's not selling out if you plainly state your intentions to screw people over and they get hyped for the idea.
Huh?
"The 44th president has accepted an offer to speak at a healthcare conference hosted by Cantor Fitzgerald in September, US media report."
It is sad to me that a thread about Obama doing a speech will get 10x the posts than this current administrations constant fuckup threads.

If Trump does this It's bad because will cost jobs on both sides but specially in the U.S. also is sad to say but Mexicans are used to economic crisis and live in poverty, not people from U.S.
In overall NAFTA has been good and not a factor for unemployment grow in the U.S since most of jobs went to China or Asia not Mexico and also labor automatitation is a big factor.

Blaming past administrations has never worked, not even when it was literally the past administration's fault.
Well, I'm not even sure if he did since he promised he'd do this, the problem is, who does this actually benefit? Consumers are going to pay higher prices and this fucks with business supply chains...

Maybe when an adult gets into office again, our allies will have pity on us and see that America was conned.
Yes, there is no information on what the speech is about. He could speak about Wall Street regulation as much as he could speak about ACA. Stop derailing.

This is only going to hurt both American and Mexican business, hopefully the next President brings NAFTA back.
The EU and Mexico already have a free trade agreement and are looking to modernise it in the near future.

Is this Trump or Bannon? If it's Trump, I'm sure he wishes this would've happened to Obama, but I don't think he'd like this happening to him.

If America even survives this President. He could start a nuclear war with North Korea.
I'm more interested in this- How much power does he unilaterally have to withdraw the country from NAFTA?
Uhh... What?
Tell me- In what scenario does America *not* survive a 'nuclear war' with a country that can't even launch ICBMs without utter failure?

Will other countries really be willing to sign treaties with the US if they see a Trump as an inevitability?
I don't see why other countries should sign agreements with us if they are subject to be canceled at the whim of a new president. If I was them I would court countries with more stable and dependable leadership.
It would be up to congress to roll back the provisions outlined in NAFTA.

How long until he gets an EO drawn up to overturn that one?
Also, any inclination for Canada/Mexico to establish their own independent trade agreement that basically reaffirms the NAFTA provisions between those two countries without the U.S. in play?
Ah, good to know that's already been interwoven into the agreement. No worries then.
Nafta is still in play between canada and mexico. So we get to keep your mangos and avocados.

The stock market seems to be Trump proof. They haven't shifted on any crap Trump has pulled so far.
yo lmao
Well, yeah. It'd be good for him during an Obama presidency, but I very much doubt he'd want people to be looking for a time "when it was great" during his presidency.
Everyone wants to ride the "No more regulations! Time to rake it in!" train up but jump off before it goes over the cliff.

In all honesty, it is in the world's best interest to rally against the US at this point.
We are the bad guys now. We should be slapped worth all sorts of embargoes and trade restrictions

Well, it's up to congress. You know what though. I don't think congress would even allow it. There's too much at stake to tow the president's line on this one. They don't want to be the ones to single handidly through their economies into recession. Or maybe i'm wrong.

Pissbaby is burning the house down everywhere (except trade war with China), I love it.
It would fuck Mexico even more because Mexican exports would need a new agreement for Canada. Pretty crazy how this guy operates. Get ready for $89.99 to $99.99 games my Canadian brethren.
Because they still think he's going to push through a business friendly tax plan and other policies that pad their profits. If he doesn't make progress on that soon, the market will reel.
It's not North Korea alone, it's the escalation of force if Russia and China get involved. Full scale nuclear war is a real possibility.
I still think the relationship between canada and the us is salvageable. Two billion dollars a day in economic activity is not something to dismiss on a whim.
Does him leaving NAFTA get us (Canada) out of the bullshit pro-corporation laws that NAFT had, like the ability to sue us in regards to our own laws? Can we start selling oil at non discounted prices to them?
The problem with Trump is that he doesn't make money by making good deals, he makes money by making deals and then failing to live up to his side of the bargain.
Pulling out of nafta might just do it though
