The end of this calendar year, or so we thought. give us a status report on both. the usmca, the old nafta, it looks like that s going to head to a vote in the house this week there were last-minute worries from the mexican government about what is this enforcement? they want to send five americans to audit our factories in mexico to make sure we re living up to our end of the agreement? they did not like that. the u.s. managed to smooth over those feathers over the last day or two. the big deal over these trade deals has been we never enforce them. people make promises about not just having terrible human rights records and terrible environmental records and labor standards. we re like, okay, just outsource your factories. enforcement is really important here. on the china deal i ll say it s an important, symbolic win for this white house. they want to go into the election with these two wins under their belt. convince the american people it s the economy stupid. you re better off t
He doesn t hate workers. no. brian: typical workers are as point wall republicans are antiunion. trump can a drives some republicans mad but still. 10:00 eastern yesterday one hour after declaring the articles of impeachment. speaker pelosi tried to take credit for usmca. said it was a rotten deal until we came along and readjusted it. that s nonsense, quite frankly. the whole idea of getting rid of the old nafta was president trump s idea. he ran on it in 2016. and a new deal, the usmca, has been on nancy pelosi s desk for seven months. she tinkered with it toward the end. ainsley: how does it help a car clearly? because does it mean the whole car 75% has to be made. steve: people who build the cars. content rules. newly imposed content rules which favor north american car parts makers. that s how usmca favors
Different from the old nafta. hasn t followed through on the wall very much. there s a lot of talk there. i think, therefore, you ll see more of that. lot of talk, not a lot of action. i m trying to be honest, not partisan here i call them as i see them. i don t think he will get what he s talking about. ambassador baucus, thanks for taking the time. you bet. time is running out to reach a spending deal at home. five days will remain. will lawmakers agree to a delay, temporary spending bill or is the government head ed for a shutdown?
Top of it. i have to believe there is some give and take on those major issues beneath the sur nas. surface.i don t know whether toe optimistic or not but you are right. are they on their meals a little bit? yes, they are. their economy is really suffering. she jinpinxi has a deal with th. you get growth in return we the communists keep power in beijing. if that s interrupted and it could well be with a trade war with america, xi is in trouble. now president trump says that he s going to terminate nafta shortly and he s giving lawmakers six month to approve the repliesmen replacement that. what are your thoughts? hard line again. the old nafta is gone. iemg goin.i m going to terminat.
You ve got six months democrats in congress, you ve got six month to agree to the new u.s. mca which benefits america significantly. if there s no agreement of six months, the old nafta is gone, and you re back to no man s land which will be negative for everybody s economy. so lots of pressure on the democrats tbet this thing done. and then how would you respond to say, you know, democrat chuck schumer who voted nay on nafta 1993, continued to say it was terrible and doesn t like this new proposed agreement either. how do you put that pressure on him to get a result if we haven t seen a result from him in 25 years frchlts the democrats don t agree to the new agreement and, no agreement at all, canada, mexico, the u.s., then the democrats could be held responsible for economic chaos. and i that could be hung aroundr
