Today, Donald Trump decided that he can't wait 90 days to start NAFTA negotiations, as required by US law. He can't even wait, in fact, for the US Trade Representative to be confirmed:
"I would like to speed it up if possible. You're the folks who can do it," Trump said during a meeting in the White House with a bipartisan group of politicians from the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives.

Thank god I got rid of the cows years ago. This is my issue with trump. As much as I like his stance on pipelines, taxes, and saving money, I am not a fan of excessive micromanaging of an economy. It has been proven that free trade makes societies richer and I'm happier that Mexico is richer as it's more customers with money for products. What the American people fail to realize is that being anti trade is a bandaid solution as they are going to handcuff their economy by cutting out a lot of customers.
I was actually listening to the radio and the talk was about how much power Mexico actually has in these negotiations. They can decided to make it so the capital and jobs can't just leave, just as easy as Trump can decide he wants them back. They also have a lot of power over the fresh food supply moving north.
