WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed a new North American trade agreement during an outdoor ceremony at the White House attended by about 400 guests - but not the key Democrats who helped secure congressional passage of the deal.
“Today, we are finally ending the NAFTA nightmare and signing into law the brand-new U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement,” Trump told the crowd. Flanked by a group of American workers wearing hard hats, Trump said the agreement would bolster U.S. economic growth, benefiting farmers, workers and manufacturers.
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, a Vermont senator who voted against the pact earlier this month, said the NAFTA replacement deal would not stop the offshoring of U.S. jobs and amounted to “a giveaway to the fossil fuel industry.” He said he would immediately renegotiate the pact if elected.

Representative Rosa DeLauro told reporters in a separate teleconference that Democrats would remain vigilant on oversight of the improved trade deal and would fight for even better climate protections in future trade deals.
He killed NAFTA to sign a WORSE deal. Got it.

Picture says a 1000 words...BIG OIL standing right behind him....we all know the game
What pisses liberals off the most...despite all their relentless attacks and accusations he just goes to work and does his job.
NAFTA 1.1. All that's new is the name.
Now that’s real news!
Is there even a mention of climate change?
Too bad it was such a dud.
Osvaldo_Villar .realDonaldTrump It is a shame that European media hardly pay any attention to your victories. This one can count ... and I only found out via Twitter ...
Lots and lots of white people.
Please explain how it differs from NAFTA.
Clapping for a trade deal with a country and people Trump hates... 🤔 Oh the irony.
This attention seeker made his four year term a TV show, not only to his country; but to all the World. I wonder how he gets his international media coverage...could it be that he bribed them?!
