jodi: that's right. they made progress on that and on autos.se were big changes the u.s. has made, willing to offer small concessions. is there any chance that maybe trump's team has convinced him it is ok -- including with the chinese, especially with the chinese -- to find places to back off a little bit, so maybe you get them to come to the table and make a deal? jodi: perhaps, although i think what president trump will take away -- you saw this in his comments at the oval office -- is that he negotiated tough. he was not willing to let canada's, what they thought were important issues, to necessarily crowd when he wanted. so we will really have to see. the other thing we will have to see, does this go through congress, is this a win for the president or not? whether this will strengthen his hand with china. the other issue is this does not necessarily do a lot to protect manufacturing jobs in the u.s., which of course was the whole president trump had talked about as a candidate. himher it will be a win for and how it strengthens his hand w

jodi: one major something block canada says is a redline. agreement, as it is now, there's a mechanism for anti-dumping panels to resolve disputes over these issues. the administration in the agreement now with mexico doesn't have that. it's pretty watered down. somebody has to blink, because canada says we can't do it without that, and the u.s. is trying to negotiate around it. that will be interesting. someone has to give in. there are other issues, but that's the big one. yvonne: these concessions, if he gets it with canada and mexico, obviously would be big wins for the president, but does it actually back up these pledges he made, shrinking trade deficits? jodi: two things the president famously said campaigning, that he had to get rid of nafta, that it was a bad deal that never should have been made because it cost the u.s. manufacturing jobs and also caused tyhe trade deficit with mexico to rise. agreement, neither of those things is likely to change. on the manufacturing side, there 's the potential for even going in the opposite dir
