White House Quickly U-Turns on Threat to Withdraw from NAFTA
------------------------------------------------------------

The White House says President Donald Trump told the leaders of Canada
and Mexico on Wednesday the U.S. will remain part of NAFTA, the North
American Free Trade Agreement, while the president seeks to renegotiate
the deal. The reported phone calls with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
and President Enrique Peņa Nieto came just hours after administration
officials said the president was preparing to begin withdrawing the U.S.
from NAFTA. On the campaign trail, Trump called NAFTA the "single worst
trade deal ever approved in this country."
