Trump on Tariffs, NAFTA: I Want a ‘Fair Trade... for Our Workers and for Our Companies’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "To be honest with you, I wouldn’t mind seeing NAFTA where you’d go by a different name where you make a separate deal with Canada and a separate deal with Mexico. Because you’re talking about a very different two countries. But I wouldn’t mind seeing a separate deal with Canada where you have one time of product, so to speak, and a separate deal with Mexico. These are two very different countries. It’s been a lousy deal for the United States from day one. We lose a lot of money with Canada and we lose a fortune with Mexico. And it's not going to happen like that anymore. I mean, Mexico has taken our car companies, a big percentage of them, and we can’t do that. And look, the American worker agrees with me. Obviously the stock market agrees because when you look at what's going on with the stocks they’re starting to see [indecipherable]. But if you take the European Union and you see the kind of tariff they charge and then we don’t, that’s called not fair trade. I want fair trade. I like free trade but I want fair trade, at a minimum I want fair trade. And we’re going to have it for our workers and for our company. And you know what, the other side understands it. To be honest with you, they cannot believe that they’ve gotten away with this for so many decades."
