Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto are scheduled to meet with Trump soon.
“We’re going to start renegotiating on NAFTA, on immigration, and on security at the border”, Trump said at the start of a swearing-in ceremony for top White House staff. Ross says renegotiating NAFTA will be an early priority for the Trump administration.

The report said Australia would increase agricultural trade by US$2.611b (19.2pc) to the 11 other TPP countries led by exports in cereals (US$161m), meat (US$1.61b) and dairy (US$357m).
The Australian government needs to consider alternative trade agreements, now that the Trans-Pacific Partnership is dead, Labor MP Jason Clare says.
NAFTA, along with other trade deals, became a lightning rod for anger in the industrial heartland states that swept Trump to power this month. NAFTA is forged in the interests of global corporations many headquartered in the US.
