So anyone who believes Trump will unilaterally pull out of NAFTA isn't aware of the facts and are too wrapped up in his cult of personality. Trump wants to negotiate and do so from a position of strength and he can do so...with Canada. Mexico has grown far stronger and is the far larger trade partner. Trump can negotiate from a position of strength with Mexico but can only go so far before Mexico #1. Mexico walks away and finds other trade partners or #2. Trump cuts his nose off to spite his face.
No amount of uneducated white guys with testosterone poisoning thumping their chests will change that either.
well it would be replaced with a bilateral agreement..but I would think that is a negotiation stance,
and won't come to that.
