Leave nafta? There doesn't seem to be a very thorough analysis on the effect of this.... You can't just make changes to economic policy and hope for the best - there are far and wide impacts to making changes like this.


I imagine in the end it will be renegotiate rather than leave. If you look here [0] you will see just how important us Canadian's are to you.

I'm curious whether Canada/US revert to the older FTA if NAFTA goes away...


>You can't just make changes to economic policy and hope for the best

Obviously you can, you mean shouldn't. I'm sure wisdom will prevail.


There are several drastic terms like that, e.g. "Cancel visas to foreign countries that won’t take them back.". When entering negotiations with such a threat you will get what you want, he will be able to easily dictate changes to NAFTA and every country will take their people back. I am not even sure this is such a bad strategy.


But that’s not how the world sees it. Many countries will see his request literally, and just completely refuse anything.

An example of such a miscommunication in Europe right now: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-37799805
