The following is an excerpt from the letter addressed to President Trump.
“Americans benefit from trade and investment with Canada and Mexico in many ways. U.S. trade with these two countries supports 14 million American jobs, and the daily volume of trade between the United States and our two North American neighbors tops $3.5 billion. In addition, the significant cross-investment among the three partners supports many additional good paying jobs across closely integrated supply chains. Much of this commerce depends on NAFTA, and the forthcoming negotiations with Canada and Mexico should be conducted in a manner that recognizes our shared values as neighbors and that does not put these millions of American jobs at risk. With your support, we believe this goal is eminently achievable.”
