With the latest of the NAFTA,
President Trump is looking to require automobiles made by NAFTA members to contain
components made by workers making specific wages in order to qualify for NAFTA’s
preferential tariffs. Mexico will most likely elect a new presidential candidate
that has criticized Trump for his broadsides of Mexico in November causing
Trump to want to make a deal before that new leader takes office. United States
is trying to pass a tariff that is aiming at using domestically produced metals
instead of paying the cheap import price from overseas. An interesting fact that
I found in this NYTimes article was that Canada is one of the top suppliers of metal
for the United States military. With president Trump calling NAFTA a joke in
the recent past, it seems that Mr. Trudeau is a little more optimistic with the
direction that NAFTA is heading and thinks things are heading in a positive direction
It is great to hear that president Trump is concerned with these sort of issues. I always forget that there is so much that is going on around the world that I forget about things like this. I really hope we can get this passed so that we will use domestically produced metals. It is important to our country to keep those types of jobs.
