Despite a new acronym, President Donald Trump's trade accord with Canada and Mexico would perpetuate the damage NAFTA has caused to communities across North America. A pro-polluter trade proposal by another name is still a threat to our health and livelihoods.
This NAFTA 2.0 would encourage further outsourcing of pollution and jobs, give handouts to corporate polluters like Chevron and ExxonMobil, and cement Trump's polluting legacy for years after he has left office. It fails to mention climate change and would actually prolong NAFTA's contribution to the climate crisis by promoting fossil fuel development.
