    During his first term, Trump negotiated and heavily praised the USMCA as a superior alternative to the “disastrous” North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which he said had offshored US jobs, among other problems.

    It was a slightly tweaked NAFTA with a new name, but he wanted votes from people who were opposed to NAFTA, so we got a lot of political theater.
