More Winning: Trump Will Terminate NAFTA – Give Congress Choice Between His USMCA or Nothing
President Trump told mainstream reporters on the way back to the United States from Buenos Aires he will terminate the ruinous NAFTA agreement and give Congress the choice between his new USMCA agreement or no agreement.
It looks like Trump wins again.
And so do the American people.

12:30 a.m.
President Donald Trump says he will shortly be providing formal notice to Congress that he will terminate the North American Free Trade Agreement, giving lawmakers six months to approve the replacement he recently signed.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One while returning to Washington from Argentina, Trump says: “I will be formally terminating NAFTA shortly.”
Seeking to gain leverage with skeptical lawmakers to approve the revised trade pact, Trump says Congress “will have a choice” as it considers the agreement he signed with the leaders of Mexico and Canada on Friday during the Group of 20 summit.
He says they can choose between the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement or “pre-NAFTA, which works very well.”
Trump has made renegotiating NAFTA a centerpiece of his presidency.
