Trump on NAFTA: If We Don’t Get a Fair Deal We’ll Terminate It

‘I announced the other day we are going to terminate it’

RUSH EXCERPT: 
TRUMP: "And we have with us tonight secretary of commerce Wilbur Ross and one of the great, great people on fair trade and good trade, Mr. Peter Navarro. Thank you. Thank you. And we’ll renegotiate NAFTA and if we don’t get a good deal and a fair deal for our country, and I have been saying for a long time, we’ll either renegotiate or we’ll terminate. I announced the other day we are going to terminate. Two people that I like have much, the president of Mexico, the prime minister of Canada, they called up and said can we renegotiate? I said yes we can renegotiate. So we’ll start a more nation, and hope — we’ll start a negotiation, and hopefully it will be fair for everybody. If it’s not a fair deal for our country — you have to understand we have been on the wrong side of the NAFTA deal with Canada and Mexico for many, many years. Many decade. So we are going to renegotiate, and if we can’t make a fair deal for our companies and workers, we’ll terminate NAFTA."
