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, how do you explain the decline in US manufacturing, decline in US employment, and the increase in the US national debt?

you'll have to define your word 'decline' . The U.S. manufacturing sector produces more stuff almost every year than it did the year before (with allowances for the 2008 recession) . We manufactured more stuff in 2014 than ever before in the country's history .

So why have manufacturing jobs 'declined' ? For a couple reasons. First manufacturing is far more efficient than it's ever was . Second ,American workers have moved on for the most part away from manufacturing to other jobs they are needed in or prefer to be employed in .

The truth is that American manufacturing is not declining ...and it is part of a robust export industry . I can tell you that my company almost always has openings in our manufacturing plants; from entry level to skilled laborers .... and rarely does an 'American' apply. It's not a matter of pay either . Our workers start at higher salaries than most of the service level jobs Americans prefer to do .

I can explain the US debt easily . The US GOVERNMENT spends too much money ...way too much money . When was the last time there was an actual reduction in spending ? Even when budgets get modestly cut ,all they really do is temporarily reduce the rate of growth of spending .

That is fine and dandy but has nothing to do with NAFTA.

Before NAFTA how much did we trade with Mexico.

How much do we trade now with Mexico?

Is our trade deficit with Mexico larger or smaller?

How many jobs have we lost to Mexico?

How many companies have left the U.S. for Mexico?

How is it good for America when companies leave the United States and fire U.S. workers and move to a foreign country and hire foreigners at a fraction of the cost?

Why is it good for the WTO to tell us what to do?

Why is building a world government instead of engagin countries unilaterally beneficial to our country?
