The United Auto Workers left a meeting near Detroit with U.S. Trade Ambassador Robert Lighthizer and gave a thumbs-down assessment of his plan to revamp America’s trade agreement with Mexico and Canada.
The union issued a statement after meeting with Lighthizer and his staff Tuesday in Dearborn, Michigan, that said it continues to advocate for a new Nafta. The trade representative paid a visit to promote the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, which President Donald Trump championed and signed in November. It hasn’t been ratified.
