I wonder what would happen if Congress made one small amendment to the new U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade deal, adding only these words and keeping everything else the same:
"This treaty shall be known as the 'North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)-2018 version.'"
I bet President Trump would veto it.
[Yeah, I realize under "fast track" authority Congress would not have the authority to make any amendments. But I don't know if President Trump had fast track authority for this deal. Obama got fast track in 2015, is that still in effect? I'm pretty sure Trump hasn't sought it since he got into office.]
