The original NAFTA established a global norm - we would merge our economy into the global economy, blur national boundaries, reduce the role of public policy, and let corporate-centric rules decide who gets the benefits from globalization. 

The new NAFTA, called USMCA, marks the beginning of the end of that approach. As we rethink our approach to globalization, we can recognize legitimate national interests without being nationalistic or divisive. We can express our values as a country to raise living standards and improve well-being. 

Please share with others.
