Donald Trump's NAFTA Trade Imbalance Delusion

Donald Trump's NAFTA Trade Imbalance Delusion
- The Trump administration is determined to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) — which created a single market from Mexico's southern border to the Yukon — but the main political appeal of this policy rests on a popular myth: that "fair" trade requires the United States to have a surplus or balanced trade with both Mexico and Canada.
We are supposed to feel especially aggrieved that Mexico regularly has a sizable surplus with us, $63.2 billion in goods in 2016, according to Commerce Department figures. This shows, as the president repeatedly has said, that U.S. trade officials negotiated a bad deal for American firms and workers. Trump has promised to do much better.
