Experts analyze what would happen if NAFTA disappears
LAREDO, Texas – Three local experts from Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) say that if the North American Free Trade Agreement were to end, the local community would need to adapt and move forward.
“A World Without NAFTA: Economic and Business Perspectives” was a forum coordinated by the Binational Center at TAMIU, and had the participation of three speakers, Stephen Meardon, Director for Center for the Study of the Western Hemispheric Trade; Federico Schaffler, Director for Texas Center for Border Economic and Enterprise Development; and, Michael Gonzalez, Director for Small Business Development Center.
The Trump Administration is hoping to make a decision regarding NAFTA in about 90 days, so TAMIU’s Binational Center thought it would be good to listen to some experts and consider all the possibilities, including one without the commercial treaty.
