Trade


 * Trade Reform **
 * //Canada is a strong and reliable trading partner. //

Trade is a extremely important part of the Canadian government and the United States is their biggest trade partner. Canada supplies the United States with lumber, oil, car parts, and other manufactured things. Both economies are industrialized, and can support each other. Canada is also part of the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and breaking off one of the most powerful treaties would be an unwise decision. Cutting off trade with Canada would destroy alliance, and both countries would have to watch their currently unguarded border, when that is truly unnecessary.
 * //Mexico is an unnecessary trading partner for the United States. //

Mexico is also part of the NAFTA, but really shouldn't be. Mexico is the United State's third largest trading partner, while the United States is Mexico's, by far, their most important trading partner. Mexico depends too much on the United States, and we cannot rely on Mexico to support us when their economy is not doing so well. If we want to stop illegal immigration from them, being allies will them not help. Trade with Mexico should not stop all together, but the United States should distance themselves from them until their economy is stronger.
 * //China and the United States trading relations have gotten out of control. //

The United States is in such a major debt to China, it will take a while until it is payed off. The debt gets larger because the imports from China have risen and the exports to China have not. The trade equality has become unfair, and for the good of both countries, trade should be cut off until the United States get their payments under control. The United States will also benefit by gaining some independence without China, we would have to find ways to manufacturer our own items. Therefore, we will be able to rely less on other countries; which will make us an overall stronger nation .
