Ending NAFTA Would Decimate American Jobs (New at Reason)
“The intellectual backwardness of many of Trump’s trade advisors contrasts dramatically with some of the very good advice he’s gotten in terms of deregulation,” says Roberto Salinas-León, president of the Mexico Business Forum and adjunct scholar at the CATO Institute. “Talking about your second most important trading partner in that [derogatory] vein—that’s not the ‘art of the deal.’ That’s just very bad business.”
Salinas-León, an expert on trade and monetary policy, says that if Trump ends the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), it would decimate jobs on both sides of the border.
“Does Indiana depend on jobs because of its trade with Mexico? Does Ohio? Texas? You want to shut down NAFTA? That turns Texas into a Democratic state overnight.”
Reason‘s Nick Gillespie sat down with Salinas-León at Freedom Fest in Las Vegas to discuss NAFTA’s economic impact, his heated confrontation with Trump at Freedom Fest 2015, and how Trump’s anti-Mexico rhetoric propelled leftist presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador (“a rabid, primitive, vitriolic, populist”) to the top of the polls.

NAFTA is a trainwreck. This author needs to get some knowledge, or start another profession, like proctologist.
There is no way ANYONE with a working brain wants NAFTA, unless you are a traitor, a globalist, or a complete mental cretin. Best thing Pres. Trump has done. Thank you, Mr. President. Keep up the good work.
This author is wrong and Anti-American, because that’s the ONLY thing that NAFTA is….
