The US has been losing money with NAFTA as the chart in the article clearly shows:
Globalists don’t back out of nafta.
Amazing how just the threat of action, gets results.
The Wall Street Journal has gone full WP/NYT.
So who am I going to believe?
Trump’s version, Canada and Mexico are going to sit down and renegotiate, or The WSJ Trump backed down?
Sorry WSJ, there was a time when I respected your organization.
That ended quite some time ago.
You decided to go full on Leftist, so don’t blame me.
Good, so now Trump renegotiates it from a stronger position.
WSJ and other globalists throw Americans under the bus like cannon fodder.
A lot of people need to learn how Trump makes a deal.
Republican method:
1) Start with compromise position (to appeal to Ds)
2) Negotiate down to position Ds want as media calls the compromised position “extreme”.
Democrat method:
1) Start with extreme position
2) Don’t give an inch while media clobbers Rs for not accepting it
Trump method:
1) Start with extreme position
2) Negotiate down to what you want as media focuses on extreme position and is unwilling to recognize/report that “the dictator” is willing to negotiation/compromise

The General has a strategy and he’s probing. Of course that’s lost on the idiot press.
Maybe the same senior advisors could have done a similar analysis of the impacts and benefits of the softwood lumber tariff that was just imposed on Canadian lumber. The biggest beneficiaries of this tariff will be U.S. lumber producers in Washington and Oregon ... two states which did not vote for Donald Trump in 2016.
Maybe I’ve missed some of Trump’s statements on NAFTA, but what I remember from a year and a-half of campaigning is several statements that he planned to renegotiate NAFTA, not end it. I think any talk of ending it is fairly recent in the almost twenty month period involved.
This does sound like a negotiating tactic, not the cave in or “back off” the WSJ is portraying here.
The idiots know nothing about negotiation. We all knew what he was doing, but the poor morons in the media didn’t have a clue.
Politicians and media have no experience with how a successful businessman conducts business. By the was just so those who have their panties in a twist over this, do they really think Mexico and Canada would stop doing business with the US just because that bad deal for America is scrapped
Not one of these people understands Trump.
He is renegotiating NAFTA.....that was ALWAYS his goal. His threat of tearing up the current agreement made negotiating possible.
That is how you negotiate.
The same with China. Trump still believes China manipulates it’s currency, but while they are helping us with North Korean, he tones it down. If they backslide, Trump will get the world behind him to brand them a currency manipulator.
These are all negotiating tactics. Trump is still advancing toward his goals, but it is easier to write stories that he backs down, flip flops, etc because the journalists writing this have an agenda or are just plain too stupid to understand.
in essence, Mexico is leaning towards a socialist government change in the next election, a government, if elected, would be very negative towards the US....at least Trump is able talk to the principals in MX city....
“Mr” Trump instead of president Trump. Psychological warfare.
Only three writers?
I dont read anything that doesnt have at least five writers
Too many stories use the meme that he's backing down by cherry-picking and too many here take a huge bite out of them crap pies.

The US has been losing money with NAFTA as the chart in the article clearly shows:
Man, I love how Trump goes about his business.
It makes me mad that not one of his predecessors ever went about their job the same way.
As usual the Never Trump express tries to understand the art of the deal
Trump hasn’t backed off. He has offered Mexico and Canada a chance to reconsider
