The North American Free Trade Agreement reportedly reemerged from the ashes of President Trump’s trade hostilities late Sunday. While the details of the renegotiated deal were still trickling out, they appeared unlikely to justify months of manufactured drama that rattled markets, frayed alliances and hurt business.

Hey SF Chronicle the DOW closed up 192 today. Sounds like winning to me.
The steel and aluminum tariffs survived. That alone is a major accomplishment and win for the U.S..
NAFTA is dead.
The good old SF Comical never lets reality or the truth influence its propaganda publication
NAFTA is GONE, SF Chronicle...
USMCA is a totally new deal without the handicaps on the USA....
Bitter, bitter clingers at the Sh*t City Chronicle hate Trump’s spectacular success. They are consuming themselves in hatred and vitriol. Die, you stupid Chronicle RATS. Die!
The SFO Chronicle should be more concerned about the health effects associated with human waste and needles left lying on the sidewalks.
Twenty months in and look what he's done.
First....he pulled us out of all these damn global deals where we not only give up a piece of our sovereignty but a sh** load of money.
Gave us tax cuts.
NK is returning remains both to SK.
Stalemated Iran...
Got part of the border built....and psssst....with the new USMCA, Mexico is paying for it. And on and on.....all in 20 months and under the most difficult circumstances....aka...the Mueller sh**....and nutcase shows like this confirmation process.
There is no basic issue with Algoma Steel in Sault Ste Marie, Ont.
At the geographical nexus of Taconite and coal along the Great Lakes, it’s well positioned for North American Steel Production.
Gov’t labor, taxes, environmental and other interventions would be the issues.
And I wonder why my California Leftist friends don’t know even half the FACTS about the ‘news’!
Surprised they didn’t include a graphic showing NAFTA as the Phoenix rising from the ashes of Trump’s negotiating.
There... fixed it
Fully agree.....
NAFTA no longer exists...
It has been replaced by USMCA.
Rebuilding a destroyed manufacturing base is low reward? The USA is run by economic idiots(Except for Donald Trump).
This new deal (USMCA) is probably what drove China to announce they would be cutting tariffs.
China is still only offering a fig leaf with tiny cuts to tariffs, that would not effect the structural conditions by which China strips industries and technology wholesale from the USA (and Canada). It is a quick change of tone from China though, which has long arrogantly asserted it would do what it wanted.
This new North American deal had to be established, before tariffs could be effective against China. Otherwise, Chinese goods would just go through Canada and Mexico, to come through tariff-free under NAFTA.
Now it is getting real for China, and real quick.
I don’t think any one really appreciates or cares what the Gay Chronicle has to say... Stop posting from there, please!
The editorial is laughable.
What’s anyone expect from a liberal rag ?
First couple of lines induced a deep vomit. Had to stop.
I don’t see how they had time or space to cover NAFTA. Isn’t all of SFO busy with news of the LGBTQRSTUV doings at the Folsom Street Festival?
