USMCA: A Big Win For U.S.

The reading of the fine print in the USMCA (aka: NAFTA 2.0) has begun. While the leaders of the U.S., Mexico and Canada are boasting a win-win-win, an understandable position from a politician’s perspective, it seems that Canada found itself at the 11^th hour between a rock and a hard place, evolving to an exercise less about negotiations and more about damage control. Even though the U.S. tossed Canada a few bones, they appear to have gained more than they gave up. With survival being a priority for both a French poodle and a chihuahua when up against an aggressive pit-bull, the final analysis for the U.S., Mexico and Canada may be a Win-win-win respectively.
