President Announces Trade Deal with Mexico, Talks with Canada to Follow

President Trump has announced a preliminary trade deal with his Mexican counterpart, Enrique Peña Nieto. The two men spoke on the phone in the Oval Office before assembled media and negotiators. The president also said he will now begin trade talks with Canada. "I like to call this deal the United States-Mexico Trade Agreement. I think it's an elegant name. I think NAFTA has a lot of bad connotations for the United States because it was a rip-off. It was a deal that was a horrible deal for our country," the president said. close
