“This is a cutting-edge, state-of-the-art agreement that protects, defends and serves the great people of our country,” Trump said in an outdoor signing ceremony at the White House, where the invitation list included more than 70 Republican members of Congress but no Democratic legislators. “Together we are building a glorious future that is raised, grown, built and made right here in the glorious U.S.A.
“What the president will be signing is quite different from what the president sent us,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi . “We were able to make vast improvements. If we weren’t, we would not have been able to pass the bill.” His trade negotiator, Robert Lighthizer, pressed for a revamped pact designed to bring factory jobs back to the United States. The new agreement, for example, requires automakers to get 75% of their production content from within North America to qualify for the pact’s duty-free benefits. That means more auto content would have to come from North America, not be imported more cheaply from China and elsewhere.
From one nightmare to another.
Another promise fulfilled
Nice “Reporting”
did trump's press secretary write this tweet? good lord, you're a newspaper. have a little respect for yourself and don't simply repeat a politician's talking points without criticism.
He says a lot of things, most of them are lies.
Good try. NAFTA 2.0
NAFTA Lite
*ahem* You left out the part where there was VIRTUALLY NO DIFFERENCE between rump's plan and the original NAFTA.....and that it was ONLY after Democrats got involved and submitted their OWN trade proposals to USMCA that it was passed as something of any value whatsoever.
Sounds like he’s been the only good president in the history of the USA!
President Clinton was the only one who had a balanced budget
Clinton-era? NAFTA was a child of the first Bush administration that Reagan had in his platform from the 80s.
It makes minor tweaks at best. It’s nothing radically different.
About time.
Great steno work. Dear leader will be proud of you.
Watch how fast robots start replacing human beings.

This is bullshit. While Clinton did sign the agreement in his first year, it was GHW Bush who negotiated it.
