This is the trade agreement negotiated by the Trump administration and held up in the House for the last year by the Democrats. It comes to us now as a fig-leaf to cover an entirely unproductive legislative year consumed with impeachment. It is a negligible improvement over NAFTA, opening more marketing opportunities for American agriculture and strengthening cross-border digital trade and intellectual property protections. Sadly, it also imposes more protectionist restrictions on auto manufacture, which will result in increased prices for automobiles, and imposes a variety of environmental and labor requirements that will increase prices of all consumer goods relative to what they would be with a genuine free trade agreement. Overall, it should be a net-plus for the economy but falls far short of ideal. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
