<p><span style="font-family: Georgia,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: regular;"><span style="font-size: 17px;"> </p><br />
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: regular;"><span style="font-size: 17px;">The new agreement with Canada and Mexico, which covers a regional economy of over $1 trillion per year, has been named the U.S.-Mexico Canada Agreement, or USMCA.</p><br />
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: regular;"><span style="font-size: 17px;"> </p><br />
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: regular;"><span style="font-size: 17px;">President Donald Trump has put immense pressure on Mexico and Canada to update NAFTA, first put in place in 1994, saying it was unfair to U.S. workers. </p><br />
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: regular;"><span style="font-size: 17px;"> </p><br />
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: regular;"><span style="font-size: 17px;">The new deal, finalized hours before a midnight deadline on Sunday, <a style="color:#ea1414;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;" href="http://click1.crm.foreignpolicy.com/ufynndkckynshhhgsgydmszkjqsddzcgmghcqmfhympgf_gkkcgkkcwdcrgngmttcy.html">opens access</a> to Canada’s dairy market for U.S. farmers and tightens rules for auto production. </p><br />
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: regular;"><span style="font-size: 17px;"> </p><br />
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: regular;"><span style="font-size: 17px;">In a joint statement, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs Chrystia Freeland said the deal “will strengthen the middle class, and create good, well-paying jobs and new opportunities for the nearly half billion people who call North America home.”</p><br />
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: regular;"><span style="font-size: 17px;"><b>Macedonia: </b>Macedonians <a style="color:#ea1414;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;" href="http://click1.crm.foreignpolicy.com/fndjjflylqjwdddbwbqfrwclpswffcybrbdysrndqrgbg_gkkcgkkcwdcrgngmttcy.html">voted</a> on Sunday in a referendum on changing the country’s name to the Republic of North Macedonia in order to end a long-running name dispute with neighboring Greece. Over 91 percent voted to change the name, but turnout was only 36.8 percent, signaling lower public support for the deal than the government had hoped.</p><br />
