John Weekes on the Cost of Trump's Transactional Approach to Trade

John Weekes wrote in the January/February issue of Policy Magazine on "The Cost of Trump's Transactional Approach to Trade." John looks at how President-elect Trump's approach to trade policy and negotiations could upend seven decades of American leadership in building a rules-based international trading system. Of particular interest to Canada, John focuses on what the U.S. might want from Canada in a renegotiation of NAFTA and examines the possible costs for Canada of falling back on the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement if President Trump withdraws from NAFTA. John also suggests how the Canadian government should be preparing for what might lie ahead. Policy Magazine
