Fishing for a new NAFTA agreement in the age of slackers and covenant breakers.
Today, Wed. 16th August 2017 marks the first of five days of talks aimed at drafting a fresh new agreement between NAFTA member states; USA, CANADA and MEXICO, After US president Donald Trump threatens to tear up the 23 year old deal which he describe as;
The "worst" in history and vowed to fix it — or withdraw from it. Read more
The question here is; why bother? Why would Canada and Mexico want to go fishing for a new NAFTA agreement with such a slacker and covenant breaker as the Trump’s USA? How could someone just threatens to “tear up” an agreement as willy nilly as Trump has done and hardly a voice was raised in defense of common decency and well established laws and norms of honoring agreements?

Now let’s suppose for a brief moment that one of the other two signatories in this deal; Canada or Mexico had for some reason decided to go the exact same rout as Trump’s America did, can anyone of you venture to speculate here what the; fallout, consequences or rhetorics which follow would look like?
Not good for that partner country I’d say, and even worse. Such a Country would be made a public example of, as a show to every other countries the world over, don’t you go tearing up any agreements signed and sealed between you and the mighty US of A, or even dare threaten to do so. Because you could/would face the same fate or worse. Why then is the Trump administration and/or the USA allowed to do this and have everybody concerned scrambling to try and work out a new agreement with the very same slacker and covenant breaker? Will such persons keep the new agreement? Only if and when that agreement is working well in their favor one would think, and then you’d better not try to get out of it later if you find that it doesn't suit you and most definitely; don't go using those very same tactics which this slacker just done used on you. Say it’s not so, I really want to hear your strong arguments Here is a link to the NAFTA members website where you may learn more about the agreement and it's workings
