U.S., Mexico Reach Tentative Accord as Trump Moves to Kill NAFTA

摘要

After weeks of arduous renegotiations in an attempt to upend the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which bound together the economies of the United States, Mexico and Canada, President Trump on Monday declared victory and said he had a new trade agreement on the table with Mexico. However, the deal for the United States-Mexico Trade Agreement, as Trump called it, remains tentative, and discarding the original NAFTA would require Canada to take part in any attempt to scuttle it. The U.S. president has previously described NAFTA as the worst trade agreement in history.
