House Democrats Praise Trump's U.S.-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement - Vote Next Week

Good to get done, however... If you have not been following the reign of current Mexican president be aware that his administration is thoroughly corrupt to the core and trade agreement unlikely to improve his economy. Recently enacted Mexican laws giving government unbridled power to take over businesses has stifled investment by foreign companies and local businesses alike. Combined with the recent escalated cartel violence Mexico in for a rough economic ride with some likely blow back for US policy makers ahead.

What I saw yesterday was a desperate Democrat party with its leader (Nancy Pelosi) trying to save face and take credit for this trade deal that Trump has been driving for all year. The Dems had a chance to approve this months ago and instead focused on bogus investigations that put their own interests ahead of the American people. The 2020 election is not going to be very friendly to Nancy and the Dem party.

Yet another Trump Win (count down the Leftard hater-aide) but Mexico is still going to be the biggest winner with lots of cheap labor that is damn hard to compete against with Can/US labor manpower and much higher HSE standards to maintain...

The deal is better and was improved and tightened up with the recent changes requested by the US Congress and agreed to by the Canadian and Mexican representatives. The US Senate is making statements it will want to see changes to, but that horse may have left the barn already. The dispute settlement mechanism is rock solid now and no single country can do what it likes and violate the agreement without consequences. Canada has a history of taking the USA to the tribunal for violations in the past. You can do a big trade deal without rules that all will follow.

Technically that is how it should happen, minus the year long delay while the house focused on other priorities.

Seriously...? Enjoy the security we provide you with for free and st$u... Canada and Trudeau are weak jokes.

@xjug1978a- Every time you spout off like that I want to cross-check you in the face. The USA and Canada share joint responsibilities in NORAD. Look it up sometime. It's us both Vs Russia even if Trump thinks they are your best friends and election partners.

Not understanding the pot shots taken at Canada here. The Canucks are stand up guys when the shooting starts. Don't let the politeness fool you. After all, they are Scots for the most part.

Canada is like the naked man in the locker room with the vestigial man part who talks like he's the king ding-a-ling porn star. But, yeah, people just point and laugh at the overcompensation and pity them for their delusional thinking.

Pres. Trump is the great negotiator in the full best interest of the U.S.

Yu gotta admit if he is convinced it is the right thing to do, he forges ahead regardless of the fallout. He doesn't seem to care about polls or focus groups like past presidents did.

@Agent009 - I believe his initial instinct was to tear up NAFTA and do 2 separate agreements, one with Canada and one with Mexico. Thankfully there were adults in the room and big US corp's on the phone for this one. A bit of tidying up around the edges was all that was needed and all that was delivered.

NAFTA benefitted Mexico and Canada while it raped the USA.

@CC You clearly know nothing about business. When Trump acted like he wanted to tear up NAFTA and cut separate deals with Canada and Mexico, that was 100% about scaring the crap out of both enemies of the USA and getting them to give concessions, which is exactly what happened.

Looks like Moscow Mitch is delaying the vote on this. Just like the 400+ other bills that sit on his shell. The only people who work less than donnie dotard is the gop.

It's nice that the old bitch is taking credit for Trump's accomplishment.
