the north american trust company. the activity of the north american trust company start and a very slow fashion. they are kind of involved in remitting money back from american soldiers back to the families at home. they were trying to introduce currency, u.s. currency to the island. they are trying to develop a system of telegraphic transfers the money and move about the island. but they are also trying to become the kind of primary player in cuban government finances. they want to control the taking of customs revenues, the money generated by the poor and the also looking to displace the old spanish banks to become cuba's central bank. there's a lot of controversy around them. many observers at the time see them as a kind of corrupting influence whose activities are really based on patronage. but that actually soon collapse. they don't collapsed but they dissolve and a reform of the company was sedition which is the bank of cuba which becomes the de facto cuban government bank. the north american trust company is o

the late robert pastor conceived of a north american idea, north america as a region that could lead the world economy. maybe one of the reasons we are renegotiating the nafta debate, conflicts from the early 1990s is we never took the time or effort to socialize nafta or explain the value of north america and how it benefits each one of us. one of the biggest challenges is how to restore the north american idea as a regional integration scheme where three countries are better off with it rather than without. we need to rethink the nafta, how to be efficient with nafta not as a result of a defensive agenda which for each one of us count as losses. nafta in north america need something from the three countries that show together we not only add but multiply gains in a highly globalized and competitive economy. what we learned in two decades, nafta has offered a clear set of routes for a transparent and predictable business environment. nafta locked in the mexican model of economic openness18% o. the agreement needs to offer the kind of growth that is her heart by the 21st century econ

it is from the north american companies. and mexico has only 40% in the region. and it has an integration. >> so in that sector we have canadian companies investing in mexico but they are exporting it.net change value with those exporters with canada or the united states. there is some important commercial partner or a shareholder. >>. >> i am with "politico." saying they want to finish negotiations as soon as possible because of upcoming elections is that a realistic time line? in with those negotiations to be drawn out?. >> can we discuss this at lunch? [laughter] >> translator: the first one is to conclude the negotiation and that is the sense of the free trade agreement. but if not we will wait for the time being and it will come. that nafta will continue operating. >> as we say in the very improbable case. and with those rules. and the wto. >> canada doesn't have the election as. [laughter] however one of the things it is up to the negotiators to figure out what timeframe when things are finalized but our role is to ensure the farmers and ranchers go through

situation, the three countries will still have to develop a regional strategy to safeguard nafta and north american integration. in 2014, former u.s. -- and general david petraeus issued a report that makes the case for north america. they argued that the u.s. needs to switch vis a vis of nafta from an afterthought to a central priority in u.s. policy. the question, how do we revitalize nafta in order to strengthen the competitive position of the region and integrate those left behind into the benefits of globalization? nafta countries need to develop a new regional strategy, and such strategy needs to consider a few key elements. the integration of the north american market is the way to boost the region's competitiveness, job creation, opportunities, and innovation. we need to reconcile integration and security. since 9/11, that there has been torn between the driving force and the breaking force to build a fortress to guarantee safe and secure borders. border infrastructure needs to be modernized and more research is needed to be allocated. and a seamless door to door operation should be facilit

it has to consist of the north american idea as north america as the region that could lead the world economy. maybe one of the reasons we are in suchating the nafta a contrast to the 1990's is that we never really took the time or or effort to socialize nafta to explain the value of north america and how it benefits each one of us. of ourprobably one biggest challenges is how to restore the north american idea as a truly regional integration for the three countries to be better off with it rather than without. however, we really need to rethink the nafta, how to aposition nafta, not as result of a defensive agenda, where each one of us count its losses. needs ad north america common vision from the three countries that shows that add but we not only multiply gains in a highly globalized and competitive economy. my fifth and last point relates to what we have learned in more than two decades of nafta. nafta has offered the region a clean set of rules and predictable business environment. locked in a mexican model of economic openness and competition. underscore the mechanism which was

arriving in santiago fifth before for the north american baking institution in those activities started a slow fashion. and then giving money back to america in soldiers trying to introduce currencies to the island with a system of telegraphic transfers but they also tried to become the of primary player in cuban government with the taking of customs revenues also looking to displaced the old spanish fake. there is a lot of controversy around the of many see them as corrupt whose activities are based on patronage it'll collapse but then they dissolve that is the defacto so the trust company is an institution that the cuban historians have talked about in the cuban the context of not necessarily but they trace their history back from a the west indies and also extended the work of the principle of the north american trust company to than sets up a better break who is attached with a lot of controversy attached to read. so with that history he is said individual or not to procurer -- on to print your where capital can move part -- and then cannot profit from that. that builds that haven o

that's how donald trump has described the north american free trade agreement, a pact between the us,a and mexico. welcome to world business report. i'm jamie robertson. also in the programme, rico will talk us through some surprisingly strong economic data from some asian economies. but first, us president donald trump has closed down two white house business councils. this comes as several business leaders started walking away from the groups, in a reaction against the preisdent‘s response —— president's response to the deadly protests in charlottesville, virginia. despite belatedly condemning the white supremacist and neo—nazi groups that rallied, on tuesday, mr trump appeared to defend the rally‘s organisers. samira hussain reports from new york. it was the tweets that said it all. 0n it was the tweets that said it all. on wednesday, donald trump disbanded to councils to bring jobs to america. but the move was more about saving face. i especially want to thank ken frazier. in a statement, ken frazier said he felt a responsibility to ta ke said he felt a responsibility to take a st

donald trump blames the north american free trade agreement, a pa ct american free trade agreement, acanada and mexico the sending jobs south of the border. companies taking advantage of cheaper wages in mexico. it is a sentiment shared by robert lighthouse who said that at the start of talks, nafta had failed many americans. aha you minimum wage in mexico is to be looked at. but not so fast according to some. in mexico is to be looked at. but not so fast according to somem in mexico is to be looked at. but not so fast according to some. it is difficult to change wages. wages are pa rt of difficult to change wages. wages are part of the market and we want to keep them that way so it is important that it is a free and you cannot artificially limit or enclose restrictions or the other way around and labour. another potential source of friction is any attempt to rewrite the mechanisms through which disputes are resolved, chapter 19, the canadians said this could be a deal breaker. the chief negotiator told me why. it is fundamental because of the commerce department here takes a lot of a

later today in washington, dc the first round of negotiations will start for nafta, the north americanree trade agreement, a pact between canada, the us and mexico. the us president made a campaign to promise to renegotiate the deal signed in 1994. any other disagreements are between the us and mexico, but there are also issues in canada, one of them softwood lumber. to get to the root of this problem we sent our correspondent to the state of maine. there's a lot of uncertainty. nobody knows where this will go. there's a lot of talk about free trade and fairtrade. need fairtrade. money may not grow on trees by the softwood lumber isa not grow on trees by the softwood lumber is a billion—dollar business. canada and the us have been arguing over the industry for decades. so what is softwood lumber? it's a kind of wood that comes from softwood trees, obviously. trees like cedar, pine and and it is primarily used to build houses. —— and spruce. it is big business. in 2014 the industry contributed 21.2 iliad dollars to the canadian economy. —— billion dollars. and over 350,000 people work i

this has been a good trade treaty for north american agriculture from mexico to canada. and we want to make sure that we have that -- our voice heard loud and clear. that we don't want to harm the gains that we have had in it. the president of the united states is my president too and he's president of all the ranchers and farmers who played a major role to get him elected and he promised to make trade treaties fair for all american people and i don't see him doing harm to this treaty that has been good for agriculture. >> just on that statement too, let's say -- while there may be some concern there were news in agriculture that it was singled out that agriculture was a shining example of how the success could work. and i think back to mr. duvall's statement of do no harm, i think we have to ensure that that message is there loud and clear. and i think in part, that is why the three of us decided very quickly that we needed to make a statement to the negotiators that we have got something that is working -- don't do something in the negotiations that is going to undermi

cuba and tried to implant the kind of ferocious and militant jim crow that they obtained on the north american mainland. however the system of "race relations" that had obtained on the island of cuba was not altogether akin to the system in a north america. i have already made reference to the arming of africans, the fact that a so-called free negro population was much more of the social structure of cuba. but when the u.s. authorities moved in, they tried to make cuba along the lines of the north american mainland, like florida, which they had taken over from spain circa 1820. to make a long story short, part of the argument of this book is that in order to understand the cuban revolution and why the u.s. authorities were kicked out of cuba, you have to understand the revulsion toward the militant ferocious form of jim crow the u.s. authorities had attempted to implant upon the island of cuba, which did not go down very well. it would be like you all trying to eat grass and your system is not able to digest it adequately and it goes out. well, the cubans threw out the yankees because they can

to discuss the future of the north american free trade agreement the talks come just a few months after president trump decided to renegotiate terms of the deal rather than completely scrap it but how much change can we expect in what trump has called the worst trade deal ever we have team coverage on nafta negotiations today boom bust in the washington at the white house alex mileage joins us from halifax canada i want to start with you has trump's rhetoric on now changed since he called it the worst trade deal ever. it certainly has changed a lot or hall during the campaign he famously called now after the worst trade deal ever in the history of the u.s. trade deals and had a lot of negative rhetoric not only on nafta but also on t.t.p. . and just trade deals in general but once he was elected to office his tone really softened and then in april he announced that instead of scrapping nafta all together like he did with p.p.p. he would be open to negotiations so as for the u.s. side what we can expect out of today in the talks moving forward trump officials want to see a change in labo
