Canada and Mexico were being “very difficult” over the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement, or Nafta, the president wrote, threatening to terminate the deal instead. Trump has also said: “Canada, what they’ve done to our dairy farmworkers is a disgrace.”At a rally this week in Phoenix, Trump said he would “end up probably terminating” Nafta “at some point”. Trump also used Twitter on Sunday to press the need for his promised wall on the US southern border. “With Mexico being one of the highest crime nations in the world,” he wrote, “we must have THE WALL. Mexico will pay for it through reimbursement/other.”In July, leaked transcripts of a January phone call showed that Trump told his Mexican counterpart, Enrique Peña Nieto, his promise that Mexico would pay was merely a political move.
