While Donald Trump is a longtime critic of NAFTA and has said he plans to renegotiate it, the trade justice movement has long had the goal of abolishing or radically reforming the three-nation pact. It is clear after 23 years that the people of all 3 countries would be far better off had the corporate-negotiated deal never come into existence.

Trump’s promises to fix NAFTA, just recently came down to “tweaking” the deal, but tinkering around the edges of NAFTA are not what the people of Mexico, Canada and the U.S. have in mind. Perhaps we in the trade justice movement could give Mr. Trump a thimble-full of credibility if, in all of his isolationist, racist rantings about migrants, and how Mexico is reaping huge gains, he would connect the dots between the devastating economic effects NAFTA has had on millions of Mexico’s small farmers. Instead, he spouts rhetoric about building a border wall to prevent desperate people from risking their lives seeking employment and to escape a drug war fueled by the trade deal for the one percent. No, Mr. Trump, we don’t trust your idea of “fixing” NAFTA.  We have a number of ideas of our own.
