#NAFTA is a trilateral agreement between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada – and it needs to stay that way.

Here are a few reasons why. A #TrilateralTuesday thread…

Transitioning from #NAFTA to bilateral agreements would disrupt the flow of trade. The U.S. trades with Mexico and Canada to the tune of $3.5 billion…every single day. #TrilateralTuesday uschamber.com/comment/us-cha…

Pursuing bilateral agreements instead of a trilateral agreement would also put jobs at risk. Approximately 14 million American jobs depend on trade with Canada and Mexico. #TrilateralTuesday uschamber.com/nafta-works

Two sets of rules – one for U.S.-Canada trade and another for U.S.-Mexico trade – would be costly for U.S. companies and could erode America’s global competitiveness. We shouldn’t backtrack on the regulatory relief the administration has already put in place. #TrilateralTuesday

Canada and Mexico are America’s two best customers. They buy “more made-in-America” manufactured goods than the next 10 countries on the list. #TrilateralTuesday businessinsider.com/us-state-impor… @businessinsider

The U.S. has a mandate from Congress to negotiate a trilateral agreement – not a pair of bilateral pacts. #TrilateralTuesday uschamber.com/series/above-t…

But don’t just take it from us. Take it from the U.S. business leaders who know #NAFTA best. #TrilateralTuesday
