The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, Sept. 1, edition that the United States Congress could be the North American free-trade agreement's best friend. The Globe's Lawrence Martin writes that it is becoming irritating to listen to President Donald Trump's junk science about NAFTA and his threats to kill the deal. An unnamed U.S. official associated with the continuing renegotiation of the deal says, "I don't know a single person with a working brain cell who thinks that that's a good idea." The Globe says Republican policymakers with working brain cells do not want a NAFTA abrogation to happen. If such an event happens, they are, if not threatening to rebel, then close to it. Mr. Martin says in the end, this is what may save the accord. Mr. Trump's relations with his Republican Congress have become so toxic that he cannot afford the risk of going to such an extreme. The Globe says several Republicans believe "NAFTA has been extremely beneficial to the U.S." Mr. Trump, who is not always convinced by rational argument, senses his political livelihood is at stake, he will be more likely to forge alliances necessary to save himself and the continental trade accord.
