Thread: President Trump Announces United States-Mexico Trade Agreement - NAFTA No More

There will be a separate deal for Canada!

Bi-lateral trade only!

AND NO MORE PORK IN OUR BUDGETS YOU LOUSY ANTI-AMERICA TRAITORS!

TERM LIMITES!

Details, details, when do we get to hear the details of this so-called glorious new deal between the United States and Mexico? Even though I doubt there will be, I'd like to see some immigration provisions in the deal.

Ok, but I want to know what was in the trade deal and WHAT exactly was agreed upon. How do we know this is a good deal if we don't know what's in it?

You know, they have tariffs of almost 300 percent on some of our dairy products, and we can’t have that. We’re not going to stand for that.

Just one example of how Canada has been raping us through NAFTA. It's about time this disaster started by Clinton is done away with.

It will be finalized, edited and ready for publication and distributed, that's when we can read it and learn all the details. That should come soon. Today was just the announcement that all the terms and conditions have been negotiated, but the document has to be finalized that represents all the terms and conditions.

U.S. taxpayers to pay $4.7 BILLION in tariff-related aid to farmers

"Details aren't yet available, but an expected major focus was the automobile industry. An agreement reportedly would have to include greater use of U.S.-produced steel and workers paid at least $16 an hour and somewhere between 70% and 75% U.S. steel content versus the current 62.5%.

The presumption is that such an arrangement would benefit, among others, auto and steel workers in the U.S. because, all things being equal on the labor front, it would become easier and cheaper to send raw materials to U.S. factories that already paid higher wages. As the Wall Street Journal reported:"

" . . . . the automobile industry . . . workers paid at least $16 an hour . . . "

That's a nice raise, for the Mexican workers.

Unfortunately this may be one of those deals where we find out exactly what's in it after it signed and delivered.
