Trump’s attacks on NATO allies for their failure to fulfill commitments to spend at least 2 percent of their gross domestic product on defence was uniformly derided. But today, three years on, NATO defence spending is up, and even many Europeans say Trump’s threats helped them wake up. Trade is another example of a viciously attacked Trump policy that is turning out fine. Trump’s decision to pull out of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) pushed Canada and Mexico to the bargaining table and the result was the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement. This revised North American trade agreement responsibly alters a deal made a quarter-century ago when the United States was the global economic superpower to ensure that more high-value-added jobs arise in the United States. Even House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) bowed to the new pact’s benefits for Americans and backed the House’s approval of the treaty, with some modifications, in December. Score another win for Trump that you probably haven’t heard much about.
