Loading ...The Trump administration is considering an executive order on withdrawing the U.S. from NAFTA, according to two White House officials.
A draft order has been submitted for the final stages of review and could be unveiled late this week or early next week, the officials said. The effort, which still could change in the coming days as more officials weigh in, would indicate the administration’s intent to withdraw from the sweeping pact by triggering the timeline set forth in the deal.
NAFTA, a trade deal signed in 1994 by former President Bill Clinton that removes tariffs and allows for the free flow of goods and services between the three countries in North America. Trump in recent weeks has stepped up his rhetoric vowing to terminate the agreement altogether.
“NAFTA’s been very, very bad for our country,” he said in a speech last week in Kenosha, Wisconsin. “It’s been very, very bad for our companies and for our workers, and we’re going to make some very big changes or we are going to get rid of NAFTA once and for all.”

Comment:
Like Ron Reagan ’81-’89, he threw millions off welfare, calling it welfare to workfare. Trump is doing the same on a global scale, with countries. No more sponging off the USA. When Reagan did welfare to workfare in the USA, they didn’t tell anybody, but the welfare folks all got Gov’t jobs with the EPA DEC Dept of agriculture, etc etc.
