Vicente Fox Warns Trump Supporters on Threats to NAFTA: 'You're Going to Pay the Price'
by Ken Meyer | 7:33 am, April 6th, 2018
Former Mexican president and Donald Trump nemesis Vicente Fox appeared on MSNBC this morning to react to the U.S. president’s latest criticisms of his country, including his threats to renegotiate the NAFTA trade agreement.
Fox spoke to Morning Joe about how America and Mexico could use NAFTA as part of a possible strategy to combat the illegal drug trade. Given Trump’s frequent criticisms of NAFTA demands that it be renegotiated, Fox turned directly to the camera to warn any pro-Trump farmers who are watching that a trade war will hurt them.
“Mexico buys from you every year over $40 billion worth of corn, and now we went down south to buy that corn from Argentina, from Brazil. So you’re going to be hurt. You better speak up, because this guy is taking you nowhere. And you consumers, this trade war, you’re going to pay the price for it. You U.S. American citizen consumers, you are going to pay the price.”
