Trump says he wants to shift focus to renegotiating NAFTA, tax cuts
WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump has signalled his desire to shift his focus to renegotiating trade deals like NAFTA, after a bumpy patch marked by controversy involving Russia and internal debates over an unpopular health bill.
He told a rally crowd that he soon wants to get to the North American Free Trade Agreement and tax cuts, speaking to supporters Monday after the FBI announced it was investigating possible criminal activity linking Trump campaign associates to Russian email hackers.
It comes after weeks of difficult negotiations on reforms to U.S. health legislation, with polls suggesting little support for the Republican health reform even among party supporters themselves.
Trump said he can’t wait to get to other priorities — one is tax cuts and the another is renegotiating trade deals including the one with the U.S.’s neighbours, which he blasted daily on the campaign trail.
