特朗普说北美自贸协定是美国历史上,可能还是世界历史上,“最差的贸易协定”。
More than 20 years after its passage, NAFTA remains a political lightning rod. But the evidence suggests it wasn’t a big deal in economic terms. Indeed, the Congressional Research Service concluded in 2015 that the “net overall effect of NAFTA on the U.S. economy appears to have been relatively modest.” The reason: Trade with Canada and Mexico comprises a small portion of American economic activity.
协定通过20多年来,北美自贸协定仍然是政治避雷针。但证据显示就经济而言,这并非一个体量很大的协定。国会调研机构2015年得出结论,“北美自贸协定对美国经济的净影响微不足道。”原因:与加拿大和墨西哥的毛衣只占美国经济活动的很小一部分。

Mr. Trump said that “we have a trade deficit of almost $800 billion a year,” blaming “political hacks” who negotiate trade deals for this.
特朗普说“我们每年有接近8000亿美元贸易赤字”,指责谈判这一贸易协定的“政治仆从”。
He has the number wrong. The United States trade deficit was about $500 billion in 2015, and is on track for a similar number this year. He is likely referring to the trade deficit in goods, which was $762 billion last year. But that was counteracted by a $262 billion surplus in services.
