Trump’S New Trade Policy: Risks For North American Food And Farms, Karen Hansen Kuhn
Trump’S New Trade Policy: Risks For North American Food And Farms, Karen Hansen Kuhn
Journal of Food Law & Policy
In his presidential campaign, Trump promised to build a “great, great wall”, and he promised to renegotiate the terms of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), leaving open the possibility of pulling out entirely. There are many concerns with NAFTA as it currently exists and there are many areas in which renegotiation would be welcome. This essay argues, however, the Trump administration’s loyalties to big business could hinder positive change. If NAFTA is significantly renegotiated, it should be with farmer and consumer interests in mind, not those of multinational corporations.
