if the pmo is cluing in that trump doesn't want a free trade agreement, the next thing to do is to put off any substantive agreement until trump is gone.

i'm not a free trade fundamentalist, or even a free trade advocate, but it is clear that our government wants a free trade deal, for better or worse. the opposition wants a free trade deal.

don't sign a shitty deal just to get it over with.

wait trump out. he'll be gone in a few years, if he lasts that long.
