The National Post reports in its Friday, Sept. 14, edition that Fear, Bob Woodward's bombshell account of the inner workings of the Donald Trump presidency, was released this week amid intense negotiations between Canada and the U.S. on a revamped North American free-trade agreement. The Post's Nick Faris writes that the book presents a colourful look at the internal debate over NAFTA that roiled the White House in Mr. Trump's first months in office, giving readers direct insight into which officials wanted to preserve trade relations with Canada and why Trump's impulse to withdraw from the deal eventually won out. One Tuesday in April, 2017, Mr. Trump called Mike Pence, Jared Kushner, commerce secretary Wilbur Ross, trade adviser Peter Navarro and staff secretary Rob Porter to the Oval Office and demanded an executive order be written that would pull the U.S. out of NAFTA. None of the attendees at the meeting protested, Mr. Woodward writes, except for Mr. Porter, the most junior official of the bunch. Mr. Porter told Mr. Trump there was a process he had to go through to make such a change. Mr. Trump responded: "I don't care about any of that stuff. I want it on my desk by Friday."
