Trump notified Congress on Friday of his plans to sign a trade agreement with Mexico to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), setting off a 90-day clock for the nations to sign the deal.
The United States also is hoping to include Canada in the agreement even though they failed to meet Friday's deadline imposed by Trump after long discussions this week to reach a deal.
"I intend to enter into a trade agreement with Mexico and with Canada if it is willing, in a timely manner, to meet the high standards for free, fair, and reciprocal trade contained therein," Trump said in the notice to the House.

That's not the way you negotiate with a long time ally Mr. Dipshit. So much for the art of the deal.
