Trump's renegotiation of the NAFTA free trade deal is helping workers—in Mexico.

The article focuses on the impact of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) under President Donald Trump's administration. While the USMCA was touted as a significant improvement for American workers, its overall economic benefits have been limited, with the trade deficit with Mexico increasing and only modest gains in U.S. auto parts exports. However, the agreement has positively affected Mexican workers by enhancing their ability to form unions and secure better wages, with the U.S. utilizing a "Rapid Response Labor Mechanism" to enforce labor reforms in Mexico. Despite some successes, challenges remain in fully realizing the intended benefits of the USMCA for workers on both sides of the border. [Extracted from the article]
