Trump Touts NAFTA Success
- 6 years ago
President Donald Trump on Monday slammed critics of his restrictive trade policy during a press conference announcing the new US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement (USMCA).
According to Trump, his recent steel and aluminum tariffs as well as threats of tariffs on imported cars were a key reason that the US, Canada, and Mexico were able to come to an agreement on a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) update.
"By the way, without tariffs, we wouldn't be talking about a deal," Trump said.
