So remember the first time around and President Trump the first time around did blow up nafta. It created uncertainty for a while. It was replaced with the Canada U.S. Mexico Trade Agreement, which was very similar to NAFTA. It made some modest updates and improvements. That would be the best case for where we're headed now. The president is not, I want to be clear also he's not singling out Canada. (06:37–06:43)
