Landmark New Trade Agreement Replaces NAFTA:

Many people throughout Washington & the Media said that this would be impossible.

Some (many of whom seem to only stand for 'illegal open border flooding' MS-13, hating 'white people', and "man shaming" at this point) even claimed that Donald Trump was just "lying" about trade and had no interest in replacing NAFTA -- despite Trump making a point of opposing NAFTA publicly and vowing to replace it (unlike any other mainstream candidate of either Political Party) at every single campaign speech and throughout his Presidency.

And it was President Obama who scoffed publicly that Trump would have to have "a magic wand" in order to alter trade terms with Mexico and Canada, and we should all just get used to losing U.S. Manufacturing jobs.

But after over one full year of working through painstaking (and sometimes bitter) negotiations back and forth first with Mexico separately, and then with Canada, President Trump has succeeded at ending the terrible Bush-Clinton-Globalist NAFTA agreement setup to exploit cheap labor and rob Americans of their own Industry and Job Base (a key component of the borderless North American Union / WTO globalized government Oligarchy vision) and he has renegotiated from scratch brand new bilateral trade terms separately with Mexico and then Canada that are more favorable to US businesses, American manufacturing security (specifically), and better protect American wages and jobs.

A few of the highlights from this new United States Mexico and Canada Agreement (USMCA) are described here, with more details in the Video below:

• New rules for auto manufacturing: A car or truck imported into the U.S. from Canada or Mexico will only qualify for zero tariffs if 75 percent of its components are manufactured in North America.
• USMCA supports the right of Mexican workers to organize and join unions. The new agreement should lead to more powerful unions and better protections for workers rights in Mexico. This helps U.S. workers by decreasing the incentives to move jobs south of the border to take advantage of weaker labor rights. U.S. workers will be able to compete on a more level playing field.
• At least 30 percent of the work manufacturing cars and trucks will have to be done by workers earning $16 an hour. That threshold moves up to 40 percent for cars by 2023. That could push wages up for Mexican workers in the longer term. It is also likely to act as a cap on the amount of work on cars that will be done in the lowest wage areas of Mexico.
• Canada agreed to open up its dairy market to U.S. farmers. U.S farmers will be able to export and compete without the older tariff imbalances that punished American farmers.
• Both Canada and Mexico initially sought to win exemptions from the Trump administration’s steel and aluminum tariffs in the new agreement. That didn’t happen. The new agreement allows for those to stay in place. This protects the once dead American steel and aluminum Industries which have seen a new resurgence during the Trump Economic reign.
• NAFTA had allowed companies and investors to sue the governments of Canada and Mexico if they believed a new policy–such as a higher environmental standard–threatened their investment. Multinational corporations had all the power and could easily evade laws. The new agreement largely does away with this.

USMCA Analysis

Excerpts from President Trump's Press Conference on USMCA:

"Since NAFTA's adoption, the United States racked up trade deficits totaling more than $2 trillion, and it's a much higher number than that. With Canada and Mexico it lost vast amounts of money and lost 4.1 million manufacturing jobs and lost 25 percent of our auto jobs -- even more than that.

I have long contended that NAFTA was perhaps the worst trade deal ever made. For 25 years as a civilian, as a businessman, I used to say, 'How could anybody have signed a deal like NAFTA?' And I watched New England and so many other places where I was -- as the factories were leaving, the jobs were leaving, people were being fired. And we can't have that.

Throughout the campaign I promised to renegotiate NAFTA and today we have kept that promise because we've been treated so unfairly by so many nations all over the world that we're changing that. Once approved by Congress, this new deal will be the most modern, up-to-date and balanced trade agreement in the history of our country, with the most advanced protections for workers ever developed.

And if you look at the current NAFTA deal -- the new deal is taking care of all of these problems, because NAFTA, foreign companies have been allowed to manufacture many of their parts overseas, ship them to Mexico and Canada for assembling, and send their foreign-made cars into the United States with no tax.

So, we let all our people go, we fire everybody, they make cars, they make products, they make everything in another country, they send them into the United States, no tax. And the cost is very little difference, sometimes it's more. for those people that like to talk about cost.

With this agreement, we are closing all of these terrible loopholes. They're closed. They're gone. They were a disaster.

For example, we are requiring a large portion of every car to be made by high-wage workers, which will greatly reduce foreign outsourcing, which was a tremendous problem, and means more auto parts and automobiles will be manufactured inside the United States. We will be manufacturing many more cars.

And our companies won't be leaving the United States, firing their workers and building their cars elsewhere. There's no longer that incentive. Before, under the NAFTA deal, they had that incentive. They have the opposite incentive now. We're not going to be losing our companies.

This deal will also impose new standards requiring at least 75 percent of every automobile to be made in North America in order to qualify for the privilege of free access to our markets. And I am not talking just about Mexico. I'm talking about everybody -- everybody. It's a privilege for China to do business with us. It's a privilege for the European Union, who has treated us very badly, but that's coming along, to do business with us. Japan, every country, it's a privilege for them to come in and attack the piggy bank.

In this, we will have a result of much more happening right here in the United States. It means, more than anything else, far more American jobs. And these are high-quality jobs.

There are also strong provisions to enforce what's called the rules of origin requirements. This will incentivize billions of dollars in new purchases of U.S.-made automobiles. Once approved, this will be a new dawn for the American auto industry and for the American autoworker.

As one primary aspect, it will transform North America back into a manufacturing powerhouse. If you remember the previous administration (Obama) said we're not going to have manufacturing jobs anymore, essentially. This landmark agreement will send cash and jobs pouring into the United States and into North American. Good for Canada, good for Mexico. Instead of jobs leaving for overseas, they will be returning back home."

---President Donald J. Trump, October 1, 2018

More Trade Renegotiations:

In addition to the rework of trade with Canada and Mexico, President Trump had previously also eliminated the Clinton-Obama North Korea trade deal which was also a disaster, and negotiated new Trade terms earlier this year with North Korea. And he has also changed the rules on the (Globalist, Authoritarian) European Union Elites and forced a re-balancing of trade terms with the imposition of new conditional tariffs.

He has also been renegotiating our economic relationship with Japan as well.

And finally next is the big one....China... Trump is also working on redoing our Economic relationship with China which when settled will reestablish our Country as the #1 Manufacturing powerhouse in the World once again.

Although you'd never know it by the CIA-Mockingbird corrupt Mainstream U.S. News Media (with non-stop 98% negative coverage), President Trump is winning; The American people are winning. The American Economy is winning; U.S. Manufacturing Jobs are coming back (600,000 new manufacturing jobs under Trump), and American workers have more job security now ... than at anytime over the past 20 years.

But I wouldn't call it a "magic wand". I would just call it an independent businessman, and non-politician looking at a failed and corrupt situation, and taking steps to correct it (as he said he would).

Competence not Ideology...
