President Donald Trump on Monday announced a new trade agreement with Canada and Mexico.
The new agreement — the USMCA — will replace NAFTA the former agreement signed by Bill Clinton that resulted in the elimination of millions and millions of US jobs.
Trump made the announcement today in the Rose Garden.
The new deal will have the most advanced protections for US workers.
Trump said even Democrats have said good things about the deal but by tomorrow they will change their tune after the talking points are sent out.
