Trump renews trade criticisms of Mexico, Canada

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Donald Trump is taking on Mexico and Canada at a time when the United States is engaged in talks with them on the future of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Trump says in a speech before a small business group that Mexico hasn’t done enough to address the flow of drugs through the southern border. And he’s accusing Canada of imposing large tariffs on U.S dairy products to the detriment of American farmers.

Trump is reiterating at the National Federation of Independent Business that he’s trying to renegotiate NAFTA or he will seek separate trade deals with Canada and Mexico.

The president says, “We have to change our ways. We can no longer be the stupid country.”
