(Worthy News) – President Trump on Monday checked off a major campaign promise that seemed impossible when he made it: rewriting the 24-year-old North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico.
A weekend of hard bargaining got Canada at the last moment to join a U.S.-Mexican deal, retaining a three-way agreement to govern the $1.2 trillion in annual trade among the countries.

Canada was able to protect an independent panel to adjudicate trade disputes that the U.S. wanted to eliminate. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
