Trump to deliver remarks on NAFTA replacement

The new pact – a replacement for the North American Free Trade Agreement – was reached after a prolonged stretch of negotiations, with the deal finally being reached in the 11th hour. “It’s either going to be the text goes in with Mexico and the US, or the text goes in with all three countries”.

De Jong said the deal may mean he chooses to milk fewer cows in order to make up for the possible financial hit he expects to incur from the trade deals.

Trump spoke after it emerged that Canada and Mexico had agreed to a pact the administration has dubbed the “United States Mexico Canada Agreement”, or USMCA.

Dairy Farmers of Canada issued a terse statement nearly immediately after the 11th-hour agreement was announced late on September 30, following 14 months of hard negotiations between the parties.

“When we began the work of updating NAFTA, we kept our focus to what really matters”, he said.

Dias said he is not thrilled by what Canada conceded in the dairy sector, but he believes there will be a solution out of discussions between the government and the dairy lobby.

US dairy farmers will receive additional access to the Canadian market.

He added: “Congratulations to Mexico and Canada!”

“If anyone thinks this is a good deal, then you’ve had the wool pulled over your eyes”, Edmunds analyst Ivan Drury said.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called a meeting with his Cabinet late Sunday after Canada and the US made substantial progress in free trade talks.

While President Donald Trump hails a revised NAFTA as the “most advanced trade deal in the world”, some analysts are wondering what all the hype is about. The loonie traded higher at 78.13 cents USA compared with an average of 77.25 cents United States on Friday.

On the campaign trail, Donald Trump harshly criticized free trade deals, threatening to withdraw the US from the Trans-Pacific Partnership as well as the North American Free Trade Agreement, which he called “the worst trade deal”. “We applaud the governments of all three countries for working diligently to negotiate a new and modernized trade agreement from which we will all benefit”. “We fail to see how this deal can be good for the 220,000 Canadian families that depend on dairy for their livelihood”.

The chair of the Dairy Farmers of Manitoba and vice president of the Dairy Farmers of Canada, David Wiens, is disappointed with a new trade agreement between the United States, Mexico and Canada. “That’s the motherlode, that’s the big one”, the president threatened, as he slammed the state of negotiations and Canadians trade negotiators.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said repeatedly that he wanted to keep so-called “Chapter 19”, which allows for a special dispute process, in place and that’s exactly what happened.

Key U.S. lawmakers have called for the three-nation format to continue, meaning Congress may delay a new agreement that doesn’t include its northern neighbour.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the trade deal was “profoundly beneficial” to Canadians.

And if the president insists on imposing higher tariffs on foreign made cars, watch Asian and European vehicle makers.

Canada is also reported to have secured some protections for automobile industry against potential United States tariffs.

“This is a bad outcome for dairy farmers and the whole dairy sector”, said the Dairy Farmers of Canada in a statement Monday. President Trump has long denounced NAFTA, so despite the fact the same countries are involved, the name, too, has changed.
