Trump says he won't sign any NAFTA deal until after the midterms
Washington Post ^ | 7/1/18 | Heater Long

Posted on 07/01/2018 1:15:05 PM PDT by DoodleDawg

President Trump said Sunday that he is “not happy” with the revised NAFTA deal that his administration has been hammering out with Canada and Mexico and that he doesn't want to sign any new agreement until after the midterm elections in November.

The remarks were aired on Fox News's “Sunday Morning Futures” on a critical day in the U.S. relationship with its neighbors as Canada started collecting tariffs on $12.6 billion worth of U.S. products to hit back at Trump and Mexican voters went to the polls to pick a new president, who will play a key role in shaping any final NAFTA deal. Front-runner Andrés Manuel López Obrador is known for his populist policies.

“NAFTA, I could sign it tomorrow, but I’m not happy with it. I want to make it more fair, okay?” Trump told Fox News's Maria Bartiromo, adding that “I want to wait until after the election” to sign it."

Sounding more and more likely that the President will pull us out of NAFTA entirely. Doing it before November makes it a campaign issue.

***WARNING***

WaPo (A Whale of Poo) - Dishonored in Trump's 2017 Top Ten First Annual Fake News Winners AKA Among the Top Ten Biggest Liars of the Lying Leftist Media

Don’t believe these Lying Leftist Media outlets that proved themselves during the 2016 campaign to be operatives of the DNC and intentional liars. They are presumed to be lying and we should presume what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.

If this story is true at least get the story from a reasonably reliable source, not from a known Lying Leftist operative posing as a “news” organization. You’ve done the Patriotic Right a service. Much better than the mindless repetition of lying sources and their lying headlines.

Very good decision. Mexico is about to be taken over by a radical leftist, but actually, I think the guy is more realistic than some of their former less-radical leftists and Trump may be able to deal with him. As for Canada, they’ll posture, but I don’t think it will matter much one way or the other.

Yo, Heater (if that's your REAL name and not your porn name), first of all, it's PRESIDENT Trump and B) Canuckistania has been tarriffing American goods for decades. Didn't you hear President Trump's speech the other night where he mentioned all the tarriffs Canadia imposes on American goods?

What am I aksing? Of course you didn't.

Ross Perot make famous “That giant sucking sound you hear are American jobs going to Mexico”.

If President Trump withdraws and we go back to the pre-NAFTA way of doing business, I would expect to hear a giant vacuum sound - which is jobs and manufacturing coming back to the States in a big way.

Right or wrong?

It’s not a separate stand-alone story. The exchange about fair trade/NAFTA takes place about 3/4’s of the way through the featured video on that page. (WP pulled the remarks out of this morning’s airing of Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures”)

Compare the U.S.-Mexico trade figures for 2017 with the early 1990s when the U.S. actually had a trade SURPLUS with Mexico. U.S. exports to Mexico were minuscule in those years. I haven’t seen anyone make a compelling case that we were actually better off back then.

Should we believe the President? He said it on camera on Fox News.

Continue to cover him and his family is prayers. The unhinged rabid left led by the billionaire globalists are fit to be tied $$ and would give anything to take out our president! Given the opportunity the smug demonic swamp along with the filthy rats won’t hesitate for one minute to pull the trigger! The unhinged left will stop at nothing to keep him from nominating the new supreme court justice! My faith in our government to protect him has evaporated and I fear for his life more then ever!! Now truly is the time for president Trump to put his life in the hands of God!!

Trump would sign a deal tommorrow but he isn’t happy with it? Huh? I guess that is Trump-speak to say he wants a deal but he is unhappy with the progress thus far.

Find a reasonably reliable source that shows and comments on the President. WaPo’s comments are presumptively lies.
