Donald Trump is calling the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) a "disaster" and vowing to renegotiate or break the deal if elected president.

"It's a disaster," Trump told CBS's Scott Pelley in an interview airing Sunday on "60 Minutes." "We will either renegotiate it or we will break it because you know every agreement has an end. "Every agreement has to be fair. Every agreement has a defraud claim. We're being defrauded by all these countries," Trump continued. Pressed on whether he supports free trade, Trump responded, "We need fair trade, not free trade. We need fair trade it's got to be fair."

Trump has blasted trade policies, accusing leaders of allowing China and Mexico to steal U.S. jobs and hurt American workers.

The GOP front-runner also opposed granting President Obama fast-track trade powers.


Poster Comment:

People who support NAFTA are sell outs to America. They just want cheap goods at the expense of the American workers. Screw them. I hope Trump has all the people who voted for NAFTA put on trial for treason. Traitorous assholes.

Trump once again proved he's an illiterate when it comes to trade policy . US exports have risen for 5 consecutive years, reaching a record $2.35 Trillion in 2014. Most of our exports go to Canada and Mexico (the third larges consumer of US exports is China) .

So all that matters to you is that expoirts supposedly have risen.

You don't give a shit about the tens of thousands of employers who no longer employ Americans.

You support NAFTA like Hillary, Bush, Bill Clinton. All the assholes are with you. That must make you one of the assholes too. One of the problems we have to overcome in this country. You are part of the problem. Not part of the solution.

You don't give a shit about the millions of Americans who lost their job. You don't give a shit that NAFTA has driven down US wages.

You just parrot establishemnt propaganda. Because like Grand Island said you're a libtard.

Reagan campaigned on a North American common market as early as 1979 .

In 1984, Congress passed the Trade and Tariff Act. The purpose of the act was to give Reagan and later Bush "fast-track" authority to negotiate the terms.

So I guess Reagan was a libtard too.

In 1984, Congress passed the Trade and Tariff Act. The purpose of the act was to give Reagan and later Bush "fast-track" authority to negotiate the terms.

The good or damage done depends on the deal agreed to, not the authority to make a deal. Fast track authority does not require the president to give away the farm.

In 1974, Congress passed H.R.10710, Trade Act of 1974, signed into law by President Gerald Ford, extending fast track authority. The 1984 Act acted to give Congress more and earlier involvement in the process.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_and_Tariff_Act_of_1984

Trade and Tariff Act of 1984

The Trade and Tariff Act of 1984 (P.L. 98-573) clarified the conditions under which unfair trade cases under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-618) can be pursued. It also provided bilateral trade negotiating authority for the U.S.-Israel Free Trade Agreement and the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement, and set out procedures to be followed for congressional approval of future bilateral trade agreements.

The bill was sponsored by Democrat Sam Gibbons (FL-7) and was signed into law by President Ronald Reagan on October 30, 1984.

Congressional Gatekeeping

A key feature of the legislation was its modification of the 1974 Trade Act's Fast track authority, incorporating a "committee gatekeeping" device. Congress opted to adapt the fast-track procedure to possible bilateral free-trade agreements with nations other than Israel Going forward, the procedure provided that if a country other than Israel requested free-trade negotiations with the United States, the President would be required to notify two "gatekeeper" committees - the House Ways and Means and the Senate Finance committees - and to consult with those committees for a period of 60 legislative days before giving the statutorily required 90 day notice of his intent to sign an agreement. If neither committee disapproved of the negotiations during this 60-day committee consultation period, any subsequently negotiated agreement would receive fast-track legislative consideration. The 1984 Act thus greatly increased the influence of Congress in negotiating trade agreements. For example, the 60-day pre-negotiation consultation period with the two committees secured their involvement in the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement negotiations months before formal talks began, allowing Congress to extract concessions from the President as a condition of letting negotiations proceed.
