agreements rather than multilateral agreements even though nafta is essentially three parties he would rather be doing two-party deals if something with canadaed at resolving specific things that are either unaddressed or ill addressed in nafta and would it probably take the form of adding the new things, and modifying the old things and requiring changes in nafta agreement to bring them into conformality with that bilateral agreement a lot more emphasis on bilateral agreements going forward trade policy is going to be one of the most interesting things for new administration because even within, the trump administration, you have sort of you do have free traders you also have trade hawks basic view we believe in trade want everybody to live by same rules then you have mercantilist views say only good trait agreement when you buy more from us than we buy from you there is conflict among all three elements as we go forward. >> headlines to give your take on, we know the senate is going to have time to debate, he steven mnuchin's nomination for treasury second, likely confirmed tonight 7:00 pm eastern what will his confirmation mean for the ad

trump's official website, since it signed the north american free trade agreement with canada and mexico — known as naftaades ago, america has lost "nearly one—third of its manufacturing jobs". and i tell you what — official numbers do seem to back up that claim. america's bureau of labour statistics says 5 million factory jobs have been lost since 2000. that's leftjust 12.3 million americans employed in manufacturing — well under one in ten of the workforce. definitely a huge decline from the one in four who worked in factories in 1960. but are bad trade deals, and cheap mexican and chinese labour really to blame? or is it simply the march of technology? one recent study by ball state university says the vast majority of these jobs — 85% — have gone because of automation. persuading companies to reverse this trend could be difficult. the boston consulting group estimates that a human welder costs $25 an hour to employ, while a robot costs less than a third of that — around $8 — to do the same job. dr michael plouffe, lecturer in international political economy at university college london. thank you for

with ontario about seven times. so we've got a very integrated economy in north america. remember, the nafta agreement really was the canada/u.s. free trade agreement with mexico hung on the back. that may have been a little premature. mexico wasn't a developed economy at the time, didn't have the kind of social or governmental institutions necessary to collaborate in that three-party agreement. so a renegotiation or a redo of nafta is not totally illogical. it was negotiated before the internet. there's a lot of things about naphtin half nafta are old. a lot of it needs to be not j k junked, but innovation-forward-looking. it's an old agreement. >> for american viewers getting their first glimpse, their first taste of justin trudeau at this event today, what should we know about him? >> dynamic, very talented young man. the first time i saw him is when he gave the eulogy at his father's funeral. i was ambassador. i took jimmy carter, our former president who served with mr. trudeau the first, and when -- i had never seen justin trudeau before, and he gave the eulogy at that funeral. i sat there and said, there's a star on

that he did not want to blow up the trade relationship with canada like he seems to want to blow up the trade with mexico. we heard him rant about naftapart of nafta, but he certainly never mentioned canada as part of the nafta issue. but what we see is, he sees canada as a different perspective from mexico. he said we need to tweak the canada relationship where we need more fundamental relationship on the canada side. this was greeted with huge sighs of relief from the canada officials. >> i appreciate it, thank you so much sir. >> thank you. >>> our live coverage of the international national security adviser michael flynn continues now, i'm don lemon, thank you for joining us. >>> hello, and welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm michael holmes, and it's just 10:00 on monday night. >>> and i'm hannah jones here in london where it's 6 a.m. on tuesday morning. thank you for joining us. >>> well, breaking news from washington, where they have been

nafta. pres. trump: outstanding trade relationship with canada. we will be doing certain things that are going to benefit both of our countries. it is a much less severe situation than what has taken place on the southern border. on the southern border, for many, many years, the transaction was not fair to the united states. extremely unfair transaction. we would -- we will work with mexico. we will make it a good different both parties. i think we're going to get along very well with mexico. they understand and we understand. juan: trudeau's visit to the white house comes as he faces several challenges at home. a growing number of asylum seekers are braving freezing temperatures in an attempt to reach canada through the border between north dakota and manitoba. several refugees have suffered frostbite after trekking for hours in sub-zero weather, and aid organizations are overwhelmed. many of those seeking refuge in manitoba come from one of the seven countries targeted by donald trump's anti-immigration executive order. they say they are worried

border with canada was secure, trump -- told the canadian prime minister he wanted to tweak their mutual trade relationship. any changes to the nafta agreement must allow for the free flow of goods and services. donald trump vowed to build it -- build bridges. i pledge toump: work with you in pursuit of our many shared interests. this includes a stronger trading relationship between the united states and canada. includes safe, efficient, and responsible border travel. and it includes close partnership on domestic and international security. anchor: the u.s. president speaking a short while ago. strapped -- is standing by. trump's predecessor met trudeau, the word bromance was thrown about. can the same word be used to describe his meeting with the canadian prime minister? this is never going to happen, these are two opposites. they couldn't be much more different, justin trudeau and donald trump. they have very differing points of view on some crucial issues, which doesn't really tend to be the case between heads of state, or in this case one head of state and one head of government. they tend to get along really well and tend have

maria: it is interesting that he really has a problem with nafta as it relates to mexico, but not with canada all. even wilbur ross said there's not much problem with that part of the deal. >> the deficit in terms of goods in trade. the important thing is your 35 state in canada is the biggest export partner. that includes ohio and wisconsin and indiana. this is not a relationship you want to disrupt it for now other reason than politically it could be very charged. important to have a strong relationship with canada. it was really nice yesterday to see the president affirmed that they want to maintain this trading relationship with canada. >> think about it. canada sent 75% of their exports to the united states that's a big number. that in itself tells you donald trump is here to negotiate and he's doing what he said is going to do. for him to stand up next to the leader of canada and basically talk about mexico in the same breath. because you were where the focus is on. maria: share. we will take a short break here president trump to take strong action against the country. what to expect ne

nafta. >> we have a very outstanding trade relationship with canada. we'll be tweaking it. we'll be doing certain things that are going to benefit both of our countries. it's a much less severe situation than what's taken place on the southern border. >> when asked about certain policies, including the president's controversial travel ban, the prime minister said it's not his job to lecture another country how it should govern itself. >>> there is new fear tonight in after a series of arrests across the country in the past few days. immigration and cuss titoms enforcement officers have made arrests in five major cities. so far 680 people have been arrested. 75% of them had been convicted of some kind of crime. in our area the shift in immigration policy is creating fear, especially after a man was picked up in fairfax county walking home from work. bureau chief julie carey joins us live. >> reporter: that i.c.e. arrest took place right here in the hybla valley area wednesday morning. i'm told that man played piano at his church. he is now in the i.c.e. detention center in f

basically stating we don't have problems with canada but we've got a lot of problems with mexico, and it was very interesting that he refused to even mention that name nafta. >> that is interesting. what about security? was there any sign that the two men agree on the need for tougher immigration control? >> well, trudeau was very elegant by saying, the canadians did not send me to this country to lecture a foreign leader. i didn't come here to tell mr. trump that i'm right and he's wrong. we will just, he said, lead by exam candle and then he said, that canada is going to continue to bring refugees from syria, tens of thousands of them to canada, but he did not criticize mr. trump for refusing to say that. so canada is going to continue to lead by example. >> so how would you describe the entire meeting and the tone of meeting? are these two men who can do business with each other? >> yes, i think so of course, i don't expect both people -- both leaders to become friends. we know that trudeau and obama, the chemistry was just great. they became friends. i don't expect mr. trump and trudeau to become good friends. they can't be more different, you know. t

with canada. cry fromng is a far what he described on nafta, a tearing up. bviously covered mostly trade, as you expected. was anything surprising to you? reporter: there was what finally came at the end, tweaking a trade deal with canada, not necessarily ripping it up, the type of talk we have heard with mexico. a lot more auto production is done in canada than in mexico, by far. wantedp actually really to increase u.s. auto manufacturing, he could go after the automakers in canada and say, stop investing in those plans, start investing in the u.s.. i am not sure why he is doing that, but because the relationship is so strong between the u.s. and canada, i think canada is continuing to get a softer touch on trade and mexico is. there is a lot of news out of washington today from national security advisor flynn leaving and drucker -- treasury secretary steven mnuchin arriving. what happened? >> he quit, and obviously people in the white house forced his hand. if you can't trust your national security advisor, you don't have a job. ?> what can we read into thi

with an attack on nafta. president donald trump telling lawmakers at the white house today he thinks the u.s. trade agreement with mexico and canada is a catastrophe. president trump: it's been a catastrophe. i want to change it. maybe we do it. maybe we do a new nafta and put an extra f in the term nafta. the f is for free and fair trade. employees of harley davidson to talk about manufacturing. alison: tomorrow marks two weeks since the violent protest broke out -- violence broke out after the protests for the inauguration. some of them were in court. sam ford were there. what happened, sam? sam: a number of the demonstrators came to court thinking they were going for a preliminary hearing. that wasn't necessary. they had been indicted. as you know, 230 people were arrested and charged during the incident involving broken windows, burned vehicles and fighting with the police in a four-block area around 12 and k downtown. today a d.c. superior court protesters and supporters gathered outside. ten protesters were arraigned out of a total of 11 indicted yesterday by the grand jury on felony riot charges. legal papers show defendant

nafta has made the united states the centerpiece of a huge north american production platform. nearly 14 million u.s. jobs depend on trade with canadand mexico. economist gary huffbauer estimates that nafta makes the united states about $127 billion richer every year and u.s. private sector jobs have increased by more than 29 million, a 32% rise since nafta began. of course nafta was written in the 1990s and the nature of trade has changed substantially, mostly due to the internet and the digital economy. modern trade agreements like tpp address 21st century trade issues such as e-commerce, cross border data flows, state owned enterprises, small businesses and global supply chains. all these improvements plus others in the areas of labor and environment are included in tpp. if president-elect trump wants to improve nafta, we recommend he start with these types of provisions, many of which have already been agreed to by mexico and canada as part of tpp. the new administration may also want to address the advantage that mexican exporters receive through the rebate of value-added taxes or v.a.t., on all their exports to the united stat

with trade. right nafta does the to be rewritten. it was before the internet or it it was before ip development. it should be done. canada, there is a defensive shield for the ocean. with chinanship should be looked at. it is such an important big company -- country. i think we should look at the entirety of china. our countries want to do business, we must have a partner. we cannot find real estate there. the chinese are coming here and selling. least one zip code is a primary buyer. why not looking to the principal. in terms of other opportunities, there is a great opportunity to cut a deal. google and all of these be restricted to europe. when europe has a lot of social policies that is inhibited innovation. they do not have them. trump is looking up for american interests and pursuing agreements. he is even resurrecting the transpacific partnership, he said it was bad, it is a primary tool against china. ands going to resurrect it say these countries that we live with and we should have a deal together because of china. , one of theote things trump mentioned specifically was our relationship with china. that is a nee
