Donald Trump has announced that America and Mexico have agreed terms on a new trade deal and said it will replace the North American Free Trade Agreement .
Both the US president and the Mexican president, Enrique Peña Nieto, said they had an understanding and thanked each other during a phone call listened into by reporters.
Mr Trump said the bilateral deal will be called the United States-Mexico Trade Agreement, ditching the ‘Nafta’ name because it has “bad connotations” for America, which he believes has suffered under the original terms.
Mr Trump also said that he will “terminate” Nafta in its current form and replace it in with the deal, casting doubt on what role Canada - the third country involved in the original agreement - will play.
He said that talks with Canada will begin soon and that teh country could join the agreement or sign their own bilateral deal with America depending on what was agreed. The Mexican president said he wanted the former.
The development brings Mr Trump a step closer to delivering on his 2016 presidential campaign promise of renegotiating Nafta, a 24-year-old trade deal between America, Canada and Mexico.
Bearwoman: Aries Do you really think that the leader in Mexico or Trump themselves are going to pay for the Wall that they've been yanking about?
Like I posted if and when the Wall really gets built that the taxpayers will foot the bill as we always do.
you obviously didn't watch the video i posted. Why would the man lie when he can so easily be caught out on film. As far as his trade deals with Mexico and Canada , that's business

Why would the man lie??? Trump's a political person right?? Political figures lie or they wouldn't get elected.

Sounds promising from what I can make of it. Capitalism is necessary(but not sufficient)and the two competing trends within it are to buy where it's easiest and to buy where it's cheapest, the former has dominated completely since Reagan/Thatcher and I welcome this correction and shift towards the latter.

Reverse that. Buying where it's cheapest was the modus operandi now shifting towards buying where it's easiest. Such a shift will increase the role of reason, logic and maths in western society as people are forced into more materially resourceful work, to defeat trade unions the neoliberals maintained that we could exploit global inequality and all become bankers, make-up artists, pet grooming entrepreneurs and Youtube Vloggers leaving the hard daily tasks to the desperate of the earth.
