Blog series 2 62 NAFTA Negotiations - Scripted?

Blog 2 - 62 Scripted  NAFTA Negotiations?


Okay, let’s take a closer look at President Trump and Canadian PM Trudeau’s curious dance. In one area they are certainly behaving more like dancers, in step, than opposites across a negotiating table.   


*The previous NAFTA could be abrogated with only six month’s notice. Hmmnnn, The President has never mentioned that. He always calls for "tearing it up."

This blog was withdrawn when your blogger realized that the dispute mechanism Trudeau was holding out for was not the investor-state-dispute resolution of Chapter 11 NAFTA.   but a Chapter 19, concerned with state-to-state disputes.

 Mr. Trudeau got his dispute resolution (Chap 19) and the Chapter 11 investor-state provision seems to be on its way out internationally.
