US President Trump signs new North American trade pact with Canada and Mexico into law, pronouncing a 'glorious future' for US industry
But even if the new USMCA trade deal with America's neighbours was crafted in close consultation between Trump's Republicans and the Democrats, the president pointedly didn't invite any of the Democratic leaders to his big White House signing ceremony.
But the new deal does change content rules on auto manufacturing, to boost US jobs, and requires higher salaries for some Mexican auto workers. "Two decades of politicians ran for office vowing to replace NAFTA... yet when selected they never even tried," he told government members, lawmakers, union representatives and selected workers assembled at the White House's South Portico."I'm not like those other politicians – I guess in many ways," Trump said. "I keep my promises."
NAFTA, he said, had been "highly controversial from the start" and many lawmakers subsequently "came to regret" their support.
