This week I will be reviewing an article from CBC News. I will be reviewing this article, http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-speech-governors-meeting-pence-1.4205000 which is about Justin Trudeau, NAFTA, and some U.S. governors. In the article, they talked about how Washington is planning to change NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) which is an organization that contributes to trade between the three North American countries which are Canada the U.S. and Mexico. They also talk about Justin Trudeau trying to convince governors not to change NAFTA.
The article talks about how many U.S. jobs depend on trade between the three countries associated with NAFTA and how Canada is a major trading partner with the U.S. and if there is a change in NAFTA then trading between the two countries can also change. NAFTA has increased jobs between the U.S, Canada, and Mexico. NAFTA has also allowed things like prices on food and taxes on specific items to be lowered so consumers don’t have to pay as much for something like a piece of fruit.
In the article, they also talk about how NAFTA isn’t perfect, but despite that NAFTA still does benefit trade between all three of the countries associated with NAFTA. They also mentioned Justin Trudeau having meetings with certain governors and how one governor said that what Trump said about NAFTA was only one of his negation tactics and that he only wants is a renewed deal that is fair to all sides.
Overall, a “number” of U.S. governors supported continued trade relations with Canada.
Excellent Kalen, I hope you are now more in touch with current affairs.
