let s talk about what happened today. how significant is this in the relationship between mexico and the united states? it s really significant. i think it s a breakthrough. it shows that two countries can actually get together and do a good deal. a good deal for both of them, that is reciprocal, that is fair, and allows growth on both sides. it s good for mexico workers, american workers. i think it s a great deal. laura: the washington post column, she discussed what this meant and what about canada. let s watch. trump really needs a win. he needs a win before the midterms, wants to be able to say that he has renegotiated nafta, in that case, he needs canada on board, he had this very short window to get canada on board. otherwise the whole deal could fall apart on the mexico side. laura: what about that? the whole deal could fall apart on your side if canada, when they come tomorrow, got those
relationship between mexico and the united states? it s really significant. i think it s a breakthrough. it shows that two countries can actually get together and do a good deal. a good deal for both of them that is reciprocal, that is fair, and allows growth on both sides. it s good for mexico workers american workers. i think it s a great deal. laura: the washington post column she discussed what this meant l and what about canada. let s watch. trump really needs a win. he needs a win before the midterms, wants to be able to say that he has renegotiated nafta, in that case, he needs canada on board, he had thisas very short window to get canada on board. otherwise the whole deal could fall apart on the mexico side. laura: what about that? the whole deal could fall apart on your side if canada, when they come tomorrow, got the economic minister coming tomorrow, it s all over?
problem here. that we have done a great job at alienating our friends and allies, including canada and to some extent mexico. obviously some of that relationship warmed up recently. we have done it with south korea, japan, lots of countries around the world. whether canada actually come to the table here is a little bit questionable because there is this short window, if in fact trump wants this deal signed as the mexican government says it once before the existing president of mexico leaves office. leaves office. why is why you have this short window to get canada on word. otherwise the whole deal could fall apart on the mexico side. thank you so much. coming up next here on cnn, moments ago the jacksonville florida sheriff s office shared new details about the mass shooting at a video game tournament over the weekend. when we are now learn being how the gunman targeted his victims. next.
base. that is that mexico would pay for the wall. there are no indications that is part of this deal. one of the reasons trump was driving such a hard bargain was he s insistent that this wall. whether or not new factories are going to be taxed at 20% versus 2.5%. what the actual tariff regimes will be. trade is notoriously complicated and, frankly, chris, a little boring. the headline here is the president saying, at least on the mexico side, they re getting close to a deal. see how much trump tries to trumpet this. han, you and i know this is fascinating stuff. section 242. thank you for being with us once again. white house correspondent. let s get back to you, ron. what do you make of this news, if it is news, a tweet? partially news.
the fate has been uncertain for more than a year now after trump threatened to withdraw if the u.s. didn t get a more favorable position. nbc s hans nichols is at the white house for us. we know the president is tweeting a big deal with mexico is looking good. suggesting they ve all been completed that deal with the mexico side of the negotiations. just a few blocks from here there s a delegation from mexico. negotiating with the u.s. side. trying to hammer out these differences. let s be clear about what this deal doesn t do if indeed there isn t one, which nbc has not confirmed it aside from that presidential tweet. it doesn t do anything with canada. canada still would need to agree to this deal and there could be separate negotiations with the canadians. the prime minister there has been clear he won t sign on to anything. so you need to get the third party involved. and it s also clear at least from what we re hearing about this deal is that it s nothing what trump had promised
