Presidents come together

On July 8, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador visited President Trump for the first time since being elected into office in 2018. President López Obrador’s visit was initially to celebrate a new trade deal between the three countries that make up North America, but last minute, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau backed out, citing scheduling conflicts

The new trade deal, the United States-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement, was signed into law in January, 2020, and is an updated version of the North-American Free Trade Agreement. President Trump often criticized NAFTA and vowed to revoke it. He calls the new agreement “fair,” noting it protects American farmers.
