The Canadians have pointed to subsidies that American farmers get and are resisting Mr. Trump’s no-compromise demand to throw their cows under the bus. Mr. Trump also wants Canada to join Mexico in agreeing to drop Chapter 19 of Nafta, a dispute resolution protocol. So Mr. Trump’s deal isn’t going to be getting jobs back from Mexico. That’s not good enough for Mr. Trump, who thinks Europeans should be forced to buy American-made cars. Having failed to browbeat Canada into submission by the American-imposed Aug. 31 deadline, the administration told Congress it will go ahead with the Mexico deal.
