IT’S A DEAL: US, Canada Strike Last-Minute NAFTA Agreement

posted by Hannity Staff - 10.01.18

The United States and Mexico reached a last-minute NAFTA deal this weekend; agreeing to new terms that updates the trilateral international trade agreement between the North American countries.

According to Bloomberg, negotiators from the US and Canada struck the deal to reach a self-imposed deadline of Sunday evening that allows the countries to remain inside the free trade bloc; ending weeks of speculation on whether Canada would agree to the Trump administration’s new demands.

“Reaching a pact with Canada allows the 24-year-old pact to remain trilateral and for the U.S. to check another box for its legislative process in the lead up to a congressional vote,” writes Bloomberg.

Key points of contention for the White House included increased access for American businesses into Canada’s dairy industry, as well as streamlined regulations regarding US automobile manufacturers.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pivoted during high-stakes negotiations on the North American Free Trade Agreement this week; saying he can’t sign-on to any deal that doesn’t protect Canada’s “culture” and history.

According to the CBC, Trudeau “will not sign a renegotiated” NAFTA without direct protections for Canada’s cultural sectors; including media, sports, and other institutions vulnerable for purchase by American corporations.

“It is inconceivable to Canadians that an American network might buy Canadian media affiliates, whether it’s newspapers or TV stations or TV networks. It would be a giving up of our sovereignty and our identity and that is something that we will simply not accept,” said the Prime Minister in Vancouver.

“We’ve made it very clear that defending that cultural exemption is something fundamental to Canadians,” he added.
