Did you actually read the agreement? It leaves Canada in $600M trade deficit. Media loves to skip the details.

Judging trade deals purely on money in vs. money out is Trump thinking.

Can you explain what a trade deficit is and why it's bad?

Are you going to demand that you get out of the trade deficit you have with your grocer of choice?

Why not? Are you to afraid that capitalism would then be replaced with communism? It is important that you understand what Trump is talking about before you echo him.
