Assignment

Instead of a work cited page, include the link into the actually paper to support evidence, being that this a digital class. NAFTA is an agreement that governs trade between the US, Canada, and Mexico. It reduces or eliminates trade barriers between, and among, the three countries. The Trump administration is committed to revisiting the US approach to trade, e.g., renegotiating, or withdrawing from, NAFTA, withdrawing from the TPP and imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum producers. The administration hopes that these tariffs will provide leverage in the renegotiation of the NAFTA agreement by providing tariff relief.

The administration is in favor of imposing tariffs, potentially starting a trade war. There are significant risks that disruption of existing trade relationships could bring. NAFTA has been in place for twenty four years, providing a platform for the integration of three economies and withdrawal will damage all three. The TPP was also intended to lower trade barriers among the member countries, eleven of whom have signed the agreement. Consider the global impact of these trade agreements. How do tariffs on imports effect the US and other countries? What is the effect on US and international law?
