Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You sound like Trump talking about Biden or Obama.
No, Trump got rid of NAFTA. Let's keep that. I'm sure there's some other broken clock things too
As someone who works in international freight, USMCA is far worse than NAFTA.
Ah, fuck. I didn't realize he replaced it.
NAFTA was terrible for Mexican workers. How's USMCA?
More red tape, more paperwork, limits on sourcing of materials, increased documentation of sourcing for each piece of a product, and unlike NAFTA the USMCA isn't permanent and has to be renegotiated from time to time so that introduces tons of uncertainty into the whole industry.
The only good thing that the USMCA did was mandate wage levels for workers in companies exporting to other member countries. But that could have just been added to NAFTA after some negotiations rather than tearing up the agreement and creating this terrible replacement.
Everything you said sounds good. Regulations are important.
What sucks about free trade agreements is IMF style requirements that prevent trade unions or law suits or sovereignty for the country to establish regulations
