Trump replaces NAFTA and triumphs -- New trade deal with Mexico is YUGE win for both countries

Once again the orange clown claims credit for something which is actually nothing.

There is no “deal”. There’s a “broad framework for discussion”. Like the “deal” he signed with Kim, the details haven’t been worked out, and as we all know, the devil is in the details.

Dumb Donald and the Mexican President have 5 days to work out those “details”, sign the deal and have it ratified by Congress.

In five days, the new President of Mexico, the one who ran on a “get tough with Trump” platform, will be sworn in and he’s very unlikely to do anything but tear up the outgoing guy’s deal with Trump.

So you think the new prez will want an even worse economy than they already have. We will see.

I did address the issue at hand. You responded by noting a spelling error and then insulted me.

This shows that you were incapable of countering my discussion points. Your concession is noted.

It will raise prices of cars and will force many Americans into the used auto mar4ket. However the used car market is going up as well. That is hardly a win. Auto co9mpanies could also go to Asia rather than dealing with NAFTA at all.

Ask the employees at Carrier and Harley Davidson about Trump's winning economic policies.

Such a poor article full of lies and mistruths.

So I went looking for something a little more truthful.

Donald Trump just announced a new Mexico trade agreement while promising to terminate Nafta

"President Donald Trump has announced that the United States and Mexico have reached a preliminary trade agreement"

Ah, it's a preliminary trade agreement. Funny how Fox failed to mention this. An example of "fake news"?

"The agreement announced on Monday focuses narrowly on auto manufacturing,"

Yes, this is a very, very narrow preliminary agreement on auto manufacturing.

"The deal would require 75 per cent of automobile parts and content to be made in the US or Mexico, up from current levels of 62.5 per cent. The deal also stipulates that 40 to 45 per cent of auto content be made by workers who earn at least $16 an hour, according to Reuters."

The first part might not even help the US. How that is a good deal for the US when the extra 12.5% could be made in Mexico anyway.

The second part I don't really see how it's enforceable. There are many ways to get around pretending you pay people X amount of money when really they're not paying them that much money.

"The reported deal between Mr Trump and his Mexican counterpart is by no means finalised, in spite of the celebratory mood in the Oval Office. "

"As the president himself noted, the deal must be sent to Congress and would then undergo a 90-day process before it could be approved. The president also does not have the power to unilaterally strike a new trade deal without the approval of Congress "

Right, so Fox is essentially bullshitting. The deal isn't actually that good at all.

Positive for American workers “yes” or “no?” That’s what I thought. Democrats bring nothing to the table.

Again you validate what I posted. “Maybe?” It was a clear cut question...either it’s “good” or it’s “bad” for American workers. Very simple question. Guess it’s tough to give this President credit for anything.

"Maybe?" Because the future is very difficult to see. Unless you think you can tell me the impact of something before it's even happened.

Also to know how one thing has an impact when millions of things are happening that impact the economy, it's an impossible situation.

Then you'd be a liar.

Giving the president credit for what?

The US will almost certainly be worse off due to Trump, some things might work better, but over all it'll be worse.

But carry on pretending you know something more complex than any human can possibly understand.

But has he done anything to alleviate the situation? Or has he merely done something which he claims will change it?

So, for the most part Nafta is left intact. He's only dealing with the auto industry. And then the impact is so slight it won't even be noticeable.

Why?

Well, changing the rule that parts for the Auto industry have to come from MEXICO or the USA by 12.5% might mean that 12.5% more goes to MEXICO.

There's no assurances that anything more will be made in the US.

A Mexican import tax would only make cars “Made in the USA” more expensive

"While Mexico’s passenger car exports to the US rank third, behind Canada and Japan, the country is the top foreign supplier of car parts to the United States, with shipments worth $51.6 billion in the first 11 months of last year, according to the US Census Bureau."

Ah, so, Mexico makes a lot of car parts for "made in America" cars. And Trump's done NOTHING to stop this. Because his deal means that these parts have to be made in the US or MEXICO.

"Mexico’s closest competitors are China and Canada, which combined ship two-thirds the value of what Mexico sends across the border."

So, Mexico exports more parts to the US than China and Canada put together. Wow, so this has done what, exactly?

"Twenty-five percent of the parts of a Chevrolet Malibu, for example, assembled in the US came from outside the US and Canada....

By 2016, that percentage had risen to 35% (pdf)."

But nothing much has changed. Because Mexico sends so many parts that it could easily make up the 10% difference here."

"Since early 2010, carmakers including BMW, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Mazda, Nissan, and Volkswagen have announced more than $24 billion in investments in Mexico, according to the Michigan-based Center for Automotive Research."

And nothing changes, because there's no problem with things being made in Mexico.

So, what, exactly, has Trump done? Nothing much. He's made something to shout about, made a change, which might have a slight impact, but it looks like it might have a more positive effect of Mexico than anywhere else.

You're full of male bovine excrement! The incoming Mexican president has already indicated his approval of the proposed deal.

Here's How the U.S.-Mexico Trade Deal Would Differ From Nafta @ Terms of Service Violation

There’s still lots of work to be done -- the administration is calling the deal with Mexico a “preliminary agreement in principle,” and the U.S. is still hopeful Canada will sign on.

Below we outline a few main ways the U.S.-Mexico agreement would differ from the more than two-decade-old North American Free Trade Agreement.

Cars
Rules for auto content were one of the most important and contentious issues during the talks. Vehicles account for the lion’s share of the U.S. $69-billion trade deficit with Mexico that the Trump administration has made the top priority in shrinking.

The new deal would require that 75 percent of car content be made in the U.S. or Mexico, according to a U.S. fact sheet. Under the current Nafta, the so-called rules of origin set a minimum of 62.5 percent. The new accord also adds a requirement that 40 percent to 45 percent of auto content must be made by workers making at least $16 per hour.

Sunset Clause
The U.S. initially proposed a “sunset clause” that would automatically terminate the deal after five years unless the countries opted back in. But the Trump administration softened its demands in recent weeks. U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said Mexico agreed to review the trade deal every six years, and if problems can’t be resolved, the pact can be terminated a decade after the review. If one of the parties refuses to renew, a yearly review would take effect in an effort to address the issues.

Intellectual Property
The deal will strengthen protections for U.S. copyright holders, while allowing “safe harbors” for Internet service providers that inadvertently post pirated material, according to the U.S. The current Nafta, which predates the rise of online giants such as Facebook Inc., doesn’t contain much language on how copyright should be handled in the digital age. The Mexico pact also gives 10 years of data protection for producers of cutting-edge drugs.

Labor
Under the new deal, Mexico committed to “specific legislative actions” to recognize workers’ rights to collective bargaining, according to the U.S. The two countries agreed to create separate chapters for labor and the environment; the current Nafta doesn’t cover those subjects in the main body of the agreement.

Tequila, Whiskey
The two sides agreed to a truce on alcohol. The U.S. will continue recognizing tequila and mezcal as distinctive Mexican products, while Mexico will keep recognizing bourbon and Tennessee whiskey. Mexico agreed not to restrict market access to U.S. cheeses labeled with certain names, according to the U.S. Trade Representative’s office.
