US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business that part of the U.S. opting out of the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) is over using forced labor, and just like Abraham Lincoln, Trump is for tariffs and against slavery.
Every television appearance, social media spot, radio interview, Trump officials must always equate Donald Trump with Abraham Lincoln or any other president he views as the best in history.
Trump just refused to renew the USMCA trade pact, which in 2018 he called the most important trade deal ever which could have significant ramifications moving forward.
“The primary issues that the president’s been focused on with the world, and particularly with Canada, Mexico, is our trade deficit,” a senior Trump administration official said on the media call.”
Jamison Greer tried to claim the main issue was forced labor, but in reality it’s all about Trump’s obsession with trade deficits.
GREER: All the countries we investigated, and there are 60 of them, 60, six zero, almost none of them have forced labor laws in place to protect against this scourge.
And those that do have not effectively enforced them. We’ll put out our final report, again, I don’t want to be too prescriptive on the timeline, but I would say relatively soon.
And then everyone will be able to see the strong action that the president is taking to try to do this.
