Trump’s North American trade deal at risk of stalling in Congress

Erica Werner, David Lynch, Emily Rauhala

President Trump’s effort to rework a major trade deal with Canada and Mexico is showing signs of faltering on Capitol Hill, straining under a variety of angry complaints from lawmakers of both parties who won’t commit to backing the plan.

Trump reached an agreement with Canada and Mexico last year to update the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement. But Congress must approve the deal, and the White House has been unable to mollify the growing complaints.

The administration’s goal is to get the pact approved ahead of Congress’s annual August recess. It’s not clear if that timeline is realistic. But delaying action past Labor Day could greatly increase political risk because of the accelerating presidential campaign.

Agreed, not a chance in heck.  It would have been trouble even before 2019 because the Senate would never have gotten the 60 votes necessary.

I'd like to know what's in this new agreement.  If it's as bad as NAFTA, then I'd definitely urge my idiot congressman to vote against it.   

Not just no, but hell no.

Ditto.  It depends on how he leverages it.
