Wilbur Ross: US Does Not Want to Walk Away from NAFTA

Although U.S. President Donald Trump has talked about walking away from NAFTA if necessary, he and other members of the administration hope that will not have to occur, U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said on Wednesday.

"From time to time he has expressed a total willingness to depart from NAFTA should that become necessary. We don't hope it will, we don't desire that it will, we don't believe that it will, but it is at least a conceptual possibility as we go forward," Ross told a Washington panel on the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Newsmax TV will host an exclusive conversation with Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross with Google on Thursday, moderated by economist Larry Kudlow on issues ranging from tax reform to NAFTA to China.
