Throughout the presidential election both major candidates have sharply criticized trade agreements. Donald Trump says the North American Free Trade Agreement, an arrangement that allows greater trade between the United States, Mexico and Canada, is “the worst trade deal maybe ever signed anywhere.” Hillary Clinton has wavered from her former stance in favor of trade, promising to “stop any trade deal that kills jobs or holds down wages.”
Unfortunately for us all, both candidates miss the mark on trade and fail Economics 101.
