United States President Donald Trump’s threat that his country will leave the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is “a negotiation strategy,” Mexico's Secretary of Foreign Affairs Luis Videgaray (pictured) affirmed on Wednesday.
Speaking of the trade agreement during a rally yesterday in Phoenix, Arizona, President Trump said that, “Personally, I don't think we can make a deal…I think we'll end up probably terminating NAFTA at some point.”
Canada, Mexico and the US, the three signatories of the 1994 trade deal, started formal negotiations to make changes to NAFTA. Trump campaigned on renegotiating the agreement and possible terminating it, calling it “the worst trade deal ever made by any country.”
