NAFTA Nitwit

Calling all newshounds. While the McCain controversy involving The American Flag at The People's White House was unraveling, POTUS hurriedly called the press to announce that he was stopping NAFTA and after checking with Canad, who was not having it and a lame duck president of Mexico, who was not immediately available for POTUS.

The North American Free Trade Agreement is an agreement signed by Canada, Mexico, and the United States created a trilateral trade bloc in North America. That was before POTUS blew it up and it may have backfired on live TV.

Trump claims NAFTA has so many bad connotations. Will he decide to rename it the New Awesome Fantastic Trump Agreement. NAFTA 2.0?

While all of this was happening, or not immediately anyway, I looked for the Spanish language news from Mexico, but it was not immediately available. http://local.doseofnews.com/

You see, Andres Manuel López Obrador won Mexico's 2018 presidential election in a landslide victory of historic proportions on July 1. This is more than Trump can truly claim. Also, Canada's Trudeau says he will defend dairy farmer protections in NAFTA https://reut.rs/2MXtRtz
