Columns, Hart Attacks

The USMCA is stupid

Only four words on this trade deal: 
bad, bad, bad and very bad

By
I hate to say that anything that comes out of Donald Trump’s U.S. government is a good thing, so I will wait for more feedback before I decide if the new NAFTA agreement — now known as the new USMCA (U.S., Mexico, Canada-Agreement) is a really good thing or not.
