Ted Cruz warns of ‘profound damage’ to U.S. economy if Trump kills NAFTA

WASHINGTON—Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz warned Tuesday that the United States would face “massive economic costs” if President Donald Trump killed the North American Free Trade Agreement — but that Trump might go ahead and make that decision.

Cruz said “NAFTA has created millions of jobs across the United States,” and he said “Texans believe in international trade.” He expressed concern that Trump, whom he generally supports, would seek to use the ongoing NAFTA renegotiation to reduce trade and erect protectionist barriers rather than to expand trade.

Reducing access to the Canadian and Mexican markets, Cruz said, would “do profound damage to the American economy and to Texas in particular.”

“Which direction will the administration go? I will tell you candidly: I don’t know,” Cruz said at the pro-NAFTA U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday. His comments highlight the uncertainty surrounding Donald Trump’s intentions.

Dork? Stop posting to you? This is an public forum slick. Just a wild guess, but if ya don't like getting your 'free trade' bell rung, you probably shouldn't post on a pro Trump site. Maybe you can't get enough abuse. I dunno.

Oh, I see, so according to you reason isn’t welcome on FR?????

No, just not welcome for socialists like you. It’s a wonder you and your buddies are on FR at all. You would fit in better on moveon.org.

BTW, YOU were the one bitching and moaning about what I was posting. What a freaking hypocrite.

Yes, I’m telling you to go away.

Either way, you’re on my No Fly Zone list. Should have known. Gonna have to pay more attention to that list to avoid time-wasters like you.

See ya wouldn’t want to be ya.

Wait a minute, you tell me not to post to you, and now you come back wanting more? Funny stuff!☺

Maybe you have Battered Poster Syndrome, or BPS, where those suffering from this affliction can't get enough abuse and keep coming back for more.
