Mexico and the United States agreed last week to step up talks on revamping NAFTA in hopes of reaching a deal on major issues by August. The two countries will hold a bilateral meeting on Thursday, a spokesperson for the United States Trade Representative said Tuesday.

"In every meeting arrangement, the United States is focused on completing the best possible trade deal as quickly as we can," Emily Davis, the spokesperson, said.

On Thursday, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told CNBC that he hoped an agreement on NAFTA was coming "very soon."

"We hope to have an agreement in principle, clearly, very soon. That's the first priority," Mnuchin said. "I think we're making a lot of progress."

They blinked. They need us a lot more than we need them. Canada is the same way.

Maybe POTUS can get them to fork over the dough for the Wall. Let their people build it to our specs. Win-win for both sides.

Who needs Congress?

Or not. Trump will hold a NAFTA deal, which the GOPoof wing of the Republican party wants, hostage for a border wall. NAFTA is a subset of internal GOP politics, regardless of what Mexico thinks.

Good news. If Mexico wants to be fair and reasonable, we can negotiate a fair and reasonable deal with them ending Nafta.

Then we crank up the tariffs on Canada, big time, and put Justin wussieboy out of business.
