Trump: ‘I Decided Rather than Terminating NAFTA … We Will Renegotiate’

‘Now, if I’m unable to make a fair deal, if I’m unable to make a fair deal for the United States, meaning a fair deal for our workers and our companies, I will terminate NAFTA’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "I said, 'I will hold on the termination. Let's see if we can make it a fair deal.' Because NAFTA has been a horrible deal for the United States. It's been very good for Canada, it's been very good for Mexico, but it's been horrible for the United States. And if you check my campaign, any of my speeches, I said I'll either renegotiate or I'll terminate. So, they asked me to renegotiate, I will, and I think we'll be successful in renegotiation which frankly will be good because it would be simple. But we have to make a deal that's fair for the United States. They understand that. So I decided rather than terminating, which would be a pretty big shock to the system, we will renegotiate. Now, if I'm unable to make a fair deal, if I'm unable to make a fair deal for the United States, meaning a fair deal for our workers and our companies, I will terminate NAFTA. But we will give renegotiation a good strong shot."
