Unclear: Trump said he is “terminating” NAFTA in favor of “US-Mexico Trade Agreement.” Mexico’s President however signaled agmt would be part of renegotiations w/Canada. Is Trump negotiating or withdrawing from NAFTA, which would require notice to Congress? - asks @JDiamond1

Upon reaching an “understanding” with Mexico on trade, Pres. Trump says he will be “terminating” NAFTA and “going into this deal” once an agreement is also reached with Canada.
“One way or the other, we have a deal with Canada,” he says https://t.co/QCr2M3hcxt pic.twitter.com/nqHayKE0h2— ABC News Politics (@ABCPolitics) August 27, 2018
Trump super-casually said he’ll be “terminating the existing deal.” Until we hear more, I’d be skeptical that he is actually doing that. It is very clear that he does not know what he’s talking about and that he’s making this up as he goes. https://t.co/PgnfyUAuU4
