I’m still going through the USMCA text (even speed reading, it will likely take a while); here’s the link to the AGREEMENT DETAILS. However, many people have asked about how the NAFTA loophole was being closed.

Well, the answer is exactly what it had to be – there was really no option. The U.S. now has veto authority over any trade deal made by Canada and/or Mexico with third parties. This is what Ambassador Lighthizer described as the “Third pillar”.

Last year, despite the inevitability of it, we didn’t think Canada and Mexico would agree to it. The NAFTA loophole was/is a zero-sum issue: Either Can/Mex agree to give veto authority to the U.S. –OR– President Trump had no option to exit NAFTA completely.

My daughter and I were talking about this today. We just concluded that our dopey team really didn’t know what it meant, so they just let it go. Or maybe they bought our ditzy valley girl foreign minister some popsicles just before negotiating that.

There’s needs to be an intense investigation into all those responsible for the destruction of the manufacturing sector in this country. I suggest we start by looking into the Clinton/Bush crime family.

Yeah, the details are in the details...

[PGalt]

HOORAY President Donald J. Trump! Thank you, sir.

[Mr. Blond]

So no more China using Canada as a pass-through for steel dumping?

[Captain7seas]

This is GREAT!

In the NAFTA Preamble listed as a Goal is: “Support Sustainable Development”. (Agenda 21).

Thank God for Trump.

[Candor7]

Yes, this is a massive win. It can prevent China and others from dumping sub standard products in Canada and Mexico and having them sold in the USA as products originating in Canada or Mexico.Steel comes to mind.
