TRUMP AGENDA - 'New' NAFTA?

"Analyzing the tentative U.S.-Mexico trade deal, and the outlook for Canada to sign on" PBS NewsHour 8/28/2018

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  President Trump has long criticized NAFTA, so it’s little surprise that he is pursuing an alternative trade deal with Mexico.  The tentative agreement reached this week contains provisions for keeping auto manufacturing in North America, ensures workers earn higher wages and addresses new industries.  But where do talks stand with Canada?  Judy Woodruff speaks with Greg Ip of the Wall Street Journal.
