With US President Donald Trump’s administration seemingly committed to its campaign promise to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is worth asking how the 23-year-old deal could be improved. In fact, it could be strengthened in several ways.
WASHINGTON, DC – US President Donald Trump’s administration says that it is sticking with its campaign promise to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement. Indeed, Trump has now reiterated his intention to invoke the procedures for renegotiating NAFTA soon (within “the next two weeks”), triggering a 90-day consultation period with the US Congress, before talks with Mexico and Canada commence. Assuming that happens – a very big if – it is worth asking how renegotiation could be done right.
