Members of the Trump transition team are trying to quell concerns that the incoming administration is bent on sparking a protectionist trade war with Canada, Mexico and other trading partners over the next four years, reports the U.S. political and government policy news site, <\/span>The Hill.<\/p>\n

During the election campaign Donald Trump<\/span> called NAFTA \u201cthe worst trade deal maybe ever signed anywhere,\u201d and pledged to renegotiate or even \u201cterminate\u201d it. But Anthony Scaramucci, a senior advisor on the Trump transition team, assured a group of business leaders this week the President-elect is a free-trader who may look to make adjustments to trade deals like NAFTA, not tear them up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019re looking to rip up NAFTA as much as we are looking to right-size it and make it fairer (for the U.S),\u201d Scaramucci said. \u201cI don\u2019t think anybody in the administration from the top to the bottom is looking for protectionism. We understand the economic harm and the impact that would take.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think anybody in the administration is looking for quote-unquote tariffs, but I think they are a cudgel, if you will, to lay out there if we can\u2019t get the trade deals to be right-sided to now benefit the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scaramucci said trade officials have failed to use the \u201cregulatory process or the review process\u201d created under NAFTA to ensure fair compliance.<\/p>\n

At the same time, he said the Trump transition team has tried to reassure business leaders worried about major disruptions in the country\u2019s trade relationships.<\/p>\n
