Subject: Time to make a deal on NAFTA?


With the elections in Mexico.. It's a good time for all three sides to come to the table..

.( http://thehill.com/opinion/finance/395580-nafta-agreement-the-win-win-win-trump-trudeau-obrador-need )

President Trump needs a win on trade, and the Mexican election could help him get one. Although Mexico’s new president is not a Trump fan and cannot be seen kowtowing to America’s combative commander in chief, both sides could benefit from quickly resolving the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) negotiations.

Trump is under increasing pressure to de-escalate the trade battle from supportive groups like farmers and the Chamber of Commerce.

Meanwhile, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) will not take office until Dec. 1, but his victory was so lopsided that he may well influence policy even as his predecessor is still at the helm.

He has tried to calm jittery investors by pledging central bank independence and spending constraints, but he could send a stronger message by calling for a quick resolution to trade negotiations with the U.S.

He cannot fulfill his promise to improve the lives of Mexico’s poor without the help of foreign investors and the United States. For that, he needs NAFTA.

The initial conversation between the two leaders was respectful. A door was opened.

At the same time, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will not want to be left out of the party. He too would benefit from showing that his tough-guy routine is not just a poll booster, but also effective in bringing home the bacon.

 

Signing a new NAFTA deal? It's a win-win-win.

hmmm..  sounds like a winner to me.
