The admired US ambassador to Mexico is resigning, even as the two countries spat over trade, immigration and Trump’s tweets. Can this critical diplomatic relationship survive yet another problem?
The idea that the US is historically a free trading country is a myth. Here’s why that’s a good thing.
Donald Trump has described NAFTA as the worst trade deal ever signed by the United States. As NAFTA talks continue, here’s what Canada and Mexico can do if the unthinkable happens.
The North American Free Trade Agreement forced Mexico into a crisis that turned into an opportunity. Could the same happen again?
The movement against globalisation has shifted from developing to developed countries.
Bill Clinton and Donald Trump share an awkward anniversary.
Instead of treating the Trump administration as a campaign adversary, Canada needs to start working with the United States to renegotiate a NAFTA that serves both countries, not regimes like China.
We asked four of our regular economics writers to examine a key theme they expect to flare up in 2018 and why.
Trump has attacked NAFTA, saying that cheap, under-regulated Mexican labor hurts American workers. If he’s right, then NAFTA negotiations could be a chance to push Mexico on workers’ rights.
Any number of implicit and explicit deadlines make 2018 look like a more eventful year than most.

Never mind NAFTA – Canada’s quiet efforts to boost trade with China should be ringing alarm bells given Chinese human rights abuses, and raises questions about whether Beijing has demanded secrecy.
As the Trump team begins renegotiating NAFTA with Canada and Mexico, a key plank in its strategy – a threat to withdraw – may be a hollow one.
The US wants rid of NAFTA’s dispute settlement mechanism but for Canada it’s a red line issue.
Mexico has traditionally been NAFTA’s biggest loser. But Canada is at risk if the U.S. gets its way in removing a dispute settlement mechanism from the deal in the upcoming NAFTA renegotiations.
