White House Is Said to Draft Plan for U.S. Break From Nafta - Polidicks

[url]https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/26/us/politics/nafta-executive-order-trump.html?_r=0[/url] [QUOTE] WASHINGTON - President Trump is likely to sign an executive order formally withdrawing the United States from the North American Free Trade Agreement, according to a senior administration official, a move that would set the stage for renegotiating the deal with Canada and Mexico and fulfill one of Mr. Trump’s major campaign promises. In recent days, the White House has announced that it will impose tariffs on Canadian lumber and asserted that Canada has treated the American dairy industry unfairly. It was not clear what the language of the executive order would be, or what steps would come next. But an executive order could start a required six-month notification period for withdrawal, during which time talks on renegotiation could be pursued. [/QUOTE]

cant wait for the eu to become canada's no. 1 trading partner

Mexico better get on that corn deal with South America, seems like Trump wants to give them an intentionally bad deal.

[QUOTE=Saturn V;52154405]cant wait for the eu to become canada's no. 1 trading partner[/QUOTE] Doubt that will happen considering 74% of Canada's exports are to the US, followed by China and Japan. NAFTA or not, that trade will continue to happen.

honestly im starting to believe its time to ditch the US they keep dragging everyone down around them, and we put up with them

Were not going to leave NAFTA. (The article has updated)

I don't recall Trump even campaigning about withdrawing from NAFTA, or any trade deal for that matter beyond the TPP. Everything he talked about was "renegotiating", not withdrawing.

Yes, we'll suffer from it, but so will the US.
