The end result of all this maneuvering is a new trade deal that’s slightly different from the one it will supersede, with the jury still out on whether it’s a net improvement. “The USMCA is certainly better than nothing,” writes Douglas Holtz-Eakin, president of the center-right American Action Forum, and former director of the Congressional Budget Office. “It may be better than NAFTA itself, but probably not. And it is certainly not as beneficial as, say, passing the original Trans Pacific Partnership.”
