Will Immigration Concerns Be Addressed in NAFTA or Will Swamp Forces Prevail?

President Trump signaled yesterday that he is open to dropping his newly announced tariffs on steel and aluminum imports if the U.S. successfully renegotiates the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with Mexico and Canada. “We have large trade deficits with Mexico and Canada. NAFTA, which is under renegotiation right now, has been a bad deal for U.S.A. Massive relocation of companies & jobs. Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum will only come off if new & fair NAFTA agreement is signed,†Trump tweeted.
NAFTA – which went into effect in 1994 and is currently being renegotiated by U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Robert Lighthizer – eliminated most tariffs on trade between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The trade agreement also created a little-known visa program that allows foreign workers to take high-paying professional jobs in America.
