Trump meets with lawmakers on NAFTA negotiations

President Trump suggested his administration would like to speed up the pace of negotiations over a new North American Free Trade Agreement, telling lawmakers on Thursday he would accept amendments to the current deal or scrap it altogether and start fresh.

“I have very serious concerns about NAFTA,” Trump said before a closed-door meeting with key congressional leaders. “NAFTA has been a catastrophe for our county. It’s been a catastrophe for our jobs and our country.”
