John Weekes, a senior business advisor in Bennett Jones' Ottawa office, has an article in the January–February issue of Policy Magazine entitled "The Cost of Trump’s Transactional Approach to Trade".
The article looks at how President-elect Trump's approach to trade policy and negotiations could upend seven decades of American leadership in building a rules-based international trading system. Of particular interest to Canada, it focuses on what the U.S. might want from Canada in a renegotiation of NAFTA and examines the possible costs for Canada of falling back on the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement were President Trump to withdraw from NAFTA. It also suggests how the Canadian government should be preparing for what might lie ahead.
