Globe editorial: Has The Donald lost his USMCA trump cards? GlobeDebate
The idea of Mexico and Canada kicking sand in the bully’s face is laughable to some. Mr. Trump could easily respond by saying, okay, fine, go ahead and don’t ratify the USMCA – but if you do, I’m pulling the United States out of NAFTA, which remains in force pending ratification of the USMCA. It is easy to imagine Ottawa and Mexico quickly backing down and signing the deal while the tariffs continue.
The fact is, it would be disastrous for Mr. Trump to pull his country out of NAFTA between now and November 2020. Doing so would hurt the many states whose economies depend on trade with Canada and Mexico – not exactly a good move when you’re trying to get re-elected.What he would much rather do is have Canada and Mexico ratify the USMCA so that he can point to it, quite rightly, as a promise kept.
