>> let me ask you, do you recall president clinton's response to the message about nafta? >> well, i think it was then that he may have told me about russia. i can't remember the exact sequencing, but it's very important that president clinton took his advice and did exactly what he said. i thought that was one of the bravest moments of president nixon's. he took on his own -- and he got bashed for it, but as you'll remember that's when he called in the former presidents who could come and visit there to support him and stand with him, and i have a -- very positive memories of the way george h.w. bush and jimmy carter and jerry ford as i recall all came here to support that in day one and that was exactly what nixon would recall, and that is when the chips are down and people stand up together. that was a time where in 2009 and where we were then and protections ran very strong in the country in the mid-90s and clinton took a lot of heat for it. >> did you pass any messages from clinton to president nixon? >> i did not. not that i recall. it was during clinton presidency,

so i just don't think that's in the cards, particularly in the context of nafta. and it probably has more to do with the mexican american relationship than with the american-canadian relationship. what we have done with the obama administration is we have this beyond the border initiative where we are finding ways of avoiding dupely cat of screening, when we're finding ways of doing more and more of our screening and security checks on the perimeter of the continent are rather than at the border. so these are ways to significantly increase integration and trade and toughism flow across the border. but i don't think -- i just don't see a customs union being in the cards. >> i also think those are very smart initiatives. another term for that is a smart border. and pushing the border out that way is smart. we did that in the united states with something called the safe ports act, which requires cargo to be screened at the point of embarkation in china or some other asian port, pick that, ca the oceanso priorities and it seems to me that initiative was a very healthy

and that is the success of nafta's story. and that implies that a lot of mexican jobs -- a lot of american jobs, i'm sorry, depends on mexican imports. actually, mexico is the second largest buyer of american products. we love american products. i received this beautiful document enhaensing the u.s.-mexico economic partnership. it's a report of the partnership. if you have time to review, you can see on the last page this beautiful map about the united states of america. for each one you can observe the size of the export of that specific states and the number of american jobs that depends on the exports to mexico. so i strongly recommend to read this later. i don't want to lose your attention on this. mexico is supporting more manufacturers than the rest of latin american and caribbean countries combined. export by destination, that is the point. not only mexican export to united states but also american products going to mexico and that means jobs for american people and american workers. so the american exports, united sta

because of all the cheap grain that goes in i mean it's been a disaster for mexico nafta as much as it's been a disaster for us because the free flow of capital so i think that that's the big issue there and you know i think that's where that's really why it's an indication of just how bad the new liberal tree deals have this whole mexico wal-mart scandal well we're going to wait and see exactly how it plays out but there is a lot of disagreement out there you know of course the chamber of commerce commerce isn't such a fan of the foreign corrupt practices act because they think that in certain countries if you want to do business there you've got to play dirty just like everybody else but if you want to hold yourself to a standard then let their standard you know let it be there mike thanks so much for joining us. are just ahead tonight one congressman doesn't think of the u.s. has enough missile interceptors so he wants to build more details are told time and and happy hour fox news and by some unexpected guests to the white house and good news for neo nazis now the social media s

kadian our business desk katie well two weeks ago we had exxon mobil getting together now also nafta is bringing in another international partner absolutely in this time karen it's a talia and were asked if they signed a deal with its nose and a it involves the companies working together in the or what filth of the arctic and the black sea supposable details on this i'm joined by . thomas live from the royal see if quoth his hi there shone so tell us how does this do compare with the exxon deal that we had a couple of weeks ago i. well katie they're very similar in very many ways in fact to the any deal from adelaide italy's any corporation and rosneft is it based and modeled after the exxon mobil rowson have to deal in both of the deals and he rose and exxon mobil will get about thirty three per cent or a third of the rights to the exploration and in both deals the us nafta and of the bargain is that they will be gaining access to exxon mobil and the sites away from the arctic sea now this particular deal. will be working with the us nafta to develop in the barents sea in the arctic

beginning nafta, we used to export only -- well, only, $52 billion. today we are exporting $350 billion last year, which means,. which means, it is crucial for our country. and equality of you are exports you can see those pies in which by the 80s. 60% of mexican export used to be oil. but today oil represents only 16% of our export. the rest is nonoil products which is another expression of mexican competitiveness. lat lal trade of the united states you can see in the year 2009, it's increasing dramatically. you can see the pretrade agreement and you can see it dramatically increase in american and mexican by lateral trade. i wanted to point this out, today, for instance, mexican manufacturers, if you observe this figure, you are exporting 60% of manufacturers. now another way to see the mention and increasing competitiveness is our market share in the american economy. but mexico is winning market share because we are passing from almost 70% in 93 to almost 12% in 2011. with that it's clear that we are not only increasing our export, but we are incr

if i understand the position of the nafta. you don't need that in the tunisian constitution. so my question for you as a member, right now, of the assembly -- the assembly, as i understand it, is responsible not simply for writing the constitution, it is set up as a parliament. as you as a member of nafta, or when your party thinks about the kinds of legislation that it would like to introduce, to what extent and in what ways do you draw on sharia sources? how do you conceive of the relationship not between the sharia and the constitution, but the sharia and ordinary legislation when you get down to the business of making ordinary laws? >> translator: we have effective participation, very strong participation for all segments of the tunisian population. this is the role of the civil societies. and the movement is trying to build all the decisions on the basis of what they believe are in the best interests of the tunisian people. anything that the tunisian society deems to be the way that represents the biggest islamic nature of the tunisian people, and that would not allow an

completing nearly 300 trade agreements including nafta, gat and securing pntr with china. passage of the jobs through trade expansion act in 1994 that supported the overseas private investment corporation and strengthened protection of intellectual property. support of small business through the small business job protection act, the small business guaranteed credit enhancement act, and the small business lending enforcement act. and of great significance to the audience, support for numerous bills supporting the ex-im bank, notably the export-import bank reauthorization act of 1997. not a bad run there, mr. president. and president clinton's impact on the world hasn't stopped. as examples establishment of the william j. clinton foundation with the intent to convert good intentions to good results. by fostering partnerships between governments, businesses, ngos and private citizens. the clinton global initiative convincing global leaders to address the world's toughest issues. the climate initiative working with 40 of the world's largest cities to reduce green house gases.

and most of that is coming from the very important and crucial decisions of nafta in mexico. let me tell you that that decision in '93 was crucial for the country. i want to express my gratitude for the public servants that used to be there. one of them, jaime salvadoski, is here, and i think they did very well and we can see the positive consequence for mexico today. let me start with this. we need to remember the benefits of trade. and probably we are forgetting the lesson about it. trade is positive for the economy. and we need to say that to the population. we need to say that to the media and we need to say that to the congress. trade increase competitions. trade provide access to technologies and inputs for companies but also for societies. trade increase productivity -- productive efficiency and trading plus macroeconomic stability keep inflation under control and a lot of benefits. and in particular the benefits of commerce are for all. consumers win. workers win. producers win. we all win with trade. and we all win with commerce. but in order to preserve the benefits

beginning nafta, we used to export only -- only -- $52 billion.oday we are exporting $350 billion last year. which means, as mr. donahoe said already, more than one billion a day only between united states and mexico. so that is crucial for our country. and the quality of our exports, if i can say that, you can see those pies in which by the '80s 60% of mexican export used to be oil. but today oil represents only 16% of our export. the rest is non-oil products which is another expression of mexican competitiveness. between the united states, well, you can see a little failure there in 2009, but it's increasing dramatically, and in particular you can see the free trade agreement, nafta, was in 1994 and how you can see dramatically increase if mexican -- in mexican and american bilateral trade. i was, wanted to point out, i'll move the graph. the point is today, for instance, mexican manufacturers if if you observe this figure, mexico -- not this, but let me tell you this -- mexico is exporting today more manufacturers than all latin american and ca

and of course what happened a year after we concluded the nafta is that we concluded the long-stalled uruguay round. and so i think there is a lot of capacity for agreements to have a positive synergy between each other. one of the other things we've frequently seen is using these bilateral and plural lateral discussions as a laboratory for expanding good ideas and later on finding ways and multilateralizing those ideas. that's very much the model we would like to see with the services discussion is that we use that plural lateral combination, first of all, to bring together a lot of work that has been done bilaterally. but then use that as a steppingstone to multilateral participation. >> dr. quick? >> thank you, ambassador. i think you have given me now very nice suggestion to make -- to be made that let's negotiate an eu/u.s. trade agreement so that we can finish the dda. and i would be the first to subscribe to that. but i think i would like to -- to ask you a question on plural laterals within outside. because i think if you look at the mfn issue from within and you don't want fr

swap even though with boosted its gold production by twenty four percent in the first quarter and nafta is managing to buck the trend not only the general trend of the market at the moment but also crude prices and speaking of crude it is actually trading a little worse throughout the day today let's see those numbers there. here they are and crude is trading lower especially grand after iran had a very productive meeting with believing six nations over the weekend and they. agreed to meet again in may it's been a lot of the major factors driving oil prices higher the concerns over iran's nuclear program and now that that factor is easing oil prices are under pressure and speaking of world prices as was nafta has agreed to sell oil to china at a discount the decision ends a long lasting price of dispute between the two sides of oil major world still to its chinese customers at a discount to one and a half dollars per barrel as part of the twenty year export agreement to supply a total of three hundred million tons of proved to the country and that one more piece of news for you the i.m.

this hour russia's biggest oil firm the state owned ross nafta and us tonight exxon mobil are joining forces they have signed a landmark partnership deal to develop the arctics protection the rich untapped reserves well the joint venture was signed in prime minister pledging their interests official residence it also gives us no access to it from projects from north america and you know how on development hard to recover the serbs deal is worth around a billion dollars it's now trying to partner up with b.p. last year but it fell through as the british oil major became entangled in a legal battle with its existing russian partners b.p. more on that major geo business bulletin coming up for you in just a few minutes well people on the hard left and right of politics rarely find anything to agree on but in france that's exactly how candidates are wooing presidential votes those tests are simply a reports from paris that's causing support for the week away from the front runner favorites in the final days before polling. i don't need. this and they lie in opposite ends of the political s

barents in the black sea is up in the arctic region this oil is very difficult to extract and russ nafta is very interested in gaining supremacy in the area and making sure that they have the top edge this is a big part of russia have to push into that area to make sure that they go for these hard to extract resources in fact of the exxon deal they're not expecting any thing to come to fruition for at least eight years in this exploration deal also to kind of show you how important this deal between annie and russ nath was is that putin himself the prime minister and president elect was on hand to make sure that this deal went through. thank you very. david out sean thomas and lovely spring like last guy at the roughnecks headquarters thank you very much indeed shall i k. that is the business for now that's all we've got time for we are going to have a look at the markets we check out those all prices let's do it right we're going to have a low we've got all the oil prices it gaining this out of major brands just slightly drop just in the last few minutes or so the happen for a strong co

working in washington two years ago, i could remember the panic of some in the academic world that nafta would be the death of the trading system, and a year after we concluded nafta, we concluding the uruguay round. there's a lot of capacity for agreements to have a positive synergy between each other. one of the other things we have frequently seen is using these bilateral and pure lateral discussions as a laboratory for expanding good ideas. and then later on, finding ways and multilateralizing those ideas. it's very much the model we would like to see with the services discussion, that we use that plural lateral discussion to bring together work that has been done bilaterally and use it as a stepping stone to multilaterally communication. >> dr. quick. >> thank you, ambassador. i think you have given me now very nice suggestions to be made that let's negotiate a trade agreement so we can finish the wdda. and i would be the first to subscribe to that. but i think i would like to ask you a question on plural lateral within our outside. but i think if you look at the mfn issue from with

our governments recognize that it is absolutely necessary to continue to fully comply with nafta. i am convinced that if we work together, we will become much more competitive than many areas of the world that we are competing with today. mexico's position is that the solution to the complex economic situation experienced by the world today is not a return to protectionist practices that only isolate countries, reduce competitiveness of economies, and send investment scurrying, but that part of the problem and part of the investment thate need to see in the world economy is to see a delving deeper into our economies and making the most of our advantages that show our complimentary labor technologies, natural resources. only then will we have success in a world that competes ferociously by regions. the three countries have renewed our commitment to broaden the productive, the supply chains of the region, that will be even more interconnected, supporting especially the small and medium scale companies. mexican exports to the world represent 37%, or have rather, 37% of american conte

i just don't think that's in the cards, particularly in the context of nafta. fighting has more to -- what we have done is we have this beyond the border initiative where we are finding ways of avoiding duplicative screening where we cross the border and finding ways to more screening and security checks on the perimeter of the continent rather than the border. these are ways to significantly increase integration, trade, tourism flow across the border. but i just do not see a customs union in the cards. >> i think those are very smart initiatives. another term for it is the smart border. pushing toward the border out that way is smart. we did that with the safe ports act which requires a cargo to be screened at the port of embarkation in china or some other asian port. then the cargo is secured across the ocean so when it arrives at airport, it isn't dangerous. there are ways to match these priorities. >> we are trying to adopt the view that i forget the exact term -- check once and verify twice. >> i am checking my watch, but i think we still have more time. h

most of us look at climate change as a big obligation that nafta fight in order to make sure our economy is strong and that are not causing the depletion of species around the world the we can also look at fighting the climate changes and opportunity. when we replaced dirty old out dated coal plants with solar farms or solar up on people's rooftops our wind farms what we're doing is putting more people to work in making the air and water cleaner and stabilize in a climate and showing the cat actually solve some of the biggest problems in our country. it's a birthday in addition good news over the last two years the sierra club is worked with up to secure the retirement of 100 coal plants across the country and what we're doing is making sure that the coal plants as they come offline their agreement replaced with a clean energy. the tone of the biggest victories in the burma to movement the last 20 years. >>> are you hopeful the government is going to end up their efforts to go green. had a lot of us keep waiting for the big moments here. >>> o waiting for it. i am cautiously and tentativ

our governments recognize it's necessary to continue to fully comply with the nafta as well as explorel competitiveness. i am convinced if he work together, we will become much more competitive than many areas of the world that we are kmeeting with today. it's not a return to protecti protectionist practices that isola isolate countries, reduce competitiveness of economies and send investment scurrying, but that part of the problem and the investment that we need to see in the world economy is to see a delving deeper into our economies. and making the most of our advantages that show labor, technology, natural resources. and only then will we have success that competes ferociously by regions. the three countries have renewed our commitment to broaden the productive, the supply chains of the region that will be even more interconnected, supporting especially the small and medium scale companies. mexican exports to the world represent 37% of -- or have, rather, 37% of american content. in other words, so american exports are american exports. and they generate millions of jobs for the re

he was one of the architects of the nafta agreement and has been a burgeoning three-way relationshiper since then. so we do meet periodically to discuss these interests and shared concerns. and, of course, we never miss an opportunity to discuss our relationship with the united states, which for canada as you know remains overwhelmingly important. i know this crowd knows, but as too many americans don't know, canada-u.s. economic relationship is the largest economic relationship in history. largest trade relationship in history. $700 billion a year now in trade. we are the number one export destination for the united states. to give an id of the scale, most americans do not understand anything like these numbers. the united states exports more together than it does to the bric countries, uk and germany combined. and, of course, we are also your largest supplier, external supplier of energy, and 25% of all oil exports, from canada, larger than any individual middle eastern country. so we never miss an opportunity to discuss very important trait in of the relationships we have with thi

we came home and begin to negotiate the nafta. president george h.w. bush signed in december of 1992 and it was put through congress the following year. within four or five minutes we completed the uruguay round. people came back. they did not want to have the north american market, which was so large to not have the benefits for the global economy. my friend to my lectures thinks that delhi is that. i agree it is on life-support, but i also believe there is a way to bring it back. any still on my left. [laughter] no change at all clear. and i believe doha could contribute to the five strategies you just mentioned, but i don't have time to go through. but i tell you there's a simple package that would poppers and gains than i would move forward if i had the chance to do so. the transpacific partnership is the only trade agreement that this administration is negotiating a and i think occurred, could be grave. the stated goal and i quote mr. bring together economies from across the pacific, developed and developing into a single trading community to serv

we have some nafta items, t-shirts and things like that that relate to a specific event. but the collection really representing what was important to the american people during the presidency of bill clinton. they thought it was important to send to the president during the presidency. i think that's one of the most interesting things about our collection. those things are all here along with the head of state gifts. those are also here in our collection. nose a those are items given to the president in an official capacity. gifts given to the head of one government by the head of another government. the horse clock, it's a lovely piece. it's got malachite on the bottom and silver and gold. the horse is silver. it's a gift from the prince in saudi arabia. it was given to president clinton when he visited washington in 1998. this piece right here is a nativity scene that was given to president clinton by i can't sayer earafat on one of the his visits to the united states in 1997 i think it was. >> what's it made out of? >> mother-of-pearl. mother-of-pearl. different colors

nafta have an understanding about what does not happen so we can move forward.ave to know about community policing and something about how government works within the district so we can all be on the same page. i just want to submit that comment, and i thank you for your time. supervisor kim: thank you. if you would like to speak for public comment, please do step up now. >> my name is henry howard. i am here to represent pastor parrish. we have accomplished a lot in the time i have been here. we go up to the youth program and talk to the kids there. i am also the director of the art program, which we will launch june 1. i think he will be a good candidate on getting something is done in the reentry world and helping the elderly people, not just the use -- but you have to target the people that is over 25 because they need help, too, and he is the right man for the job. thank you. supervisor kim: thank you. >> how do you do, folks? my name is robert smith. i am a native san franciscan, born and raised here in the fillmore, haight-ashbury, western addition, sun s

i remember when i was pushing nafta and all those trade agreements through, the creation of the world trade organization when i was president, it was obvious to me that we had to do that because export related jobs then -- i am sorry i do not have the current figures -- export related jobs then paid on average 35% more than nine- export related jobs in the -- non-export related jobs in the united states. since president obama took office, there have been a whole raft of studies that show that americans who work in the charitable sector of the economy are likely to not only get jobs with higher starting pay, but pay the increases with the growth of the company. people who work in the non tradable sector are much more likely to get jobs with not only lower starting pay but without pay raises that keep up with inflation and economic growth. i say that because most of the discussion here in washington -- and i have participated in it, and i'm a democrat, so you know what side i am on. but a lot of this has been about tax fairness, income inequality and the extraordinary gains of the last

by the time we got to november when nafta passed congress have the american public supported nafta and only 40% were opposed. you can move the needle as has been suggested and i hesitate to say anything. just lacking for bill clinton again. well i am. it is just an example. other presidents have done it as well. not the only one. presidents have to do it more. that was my point i tried to start with. >> i would love to hear candidates a what are we afraid of? we are the strongest and most productive people in the history of the world. what are we afraid of? the opportunity is there. let's get some jobs. i think you will see a new president. >> university of maryland and peterson institute. so-called experts who ask questions. we think we know the answer. i haven't the foggiest notion of the answer and a number of people who are energy experts have recently been arguing that there is underway a fundamental revolution in terms of u.s. position in energy markets driven by low cost of natural gas which has implications for manufacturing competitiveness as well as trade balance. like a lot

our governments recognize that it is absolutely necessary to continue to fully comply with the naftawell as to explore new means of strengthening regional competitiveness. and i am convinced that if we work together, we will become much more competitive than many areas of the world that we are competing with today. mexico's position is that the solution to the complex economic situation experienced by the world today is not a return to protectionist practices that only isolate countries, reduce competitiveness of economies and send investment scurrying, but the part of the problem and the part of the investment that we need to see in the world economy is to see a delving deeper into our economies and making the most of our advantages that show our economic compliment in terms of natural resource, and only then will we be successful in a world that competes ferociously by regions. the three countries have renewed our commitment to broaden the productive, the supply chains of the region that will be even more interconnected supporting, especially, the small and medium-scale companies.
