the NAFTA report is out:

Notably: Trump’s most frequent talking point about the new NAFTA is that it’d bring car production back to the U.S. The Commission finds that there’d actually be a job *loss* of 1,500 in automobile production — though a gain of about 30,000 in auto-parts production.

Everyone should be skeptical of everything, but the ITC does its research independently of the governing administration, and I’ve seen no suggestion from anyone that the Trump team interfered here. https://t.co/wUTGOfdrty

USITC on the new NAFTA: “The model estimates that the agreement would likely have a positive impact on all broad industry sectors within the U.S. economy.”
