28 U.S. Congressman Sponsor Bill to Repeal NAFTA: How Many Will Join Them?

by Julian Ku

I doubt it has a chance of passing, but it would be interesting to see how many votes this bill will get:

A small group of U.S. lawmakers unveiled legislation on Thursday to withdraw from the North American Free Trade Agreement in the latest sign of congressional disillusionment with free-trade deals.

The bill spearheaded by Rep. Gene Taylor, a Mississippi Democrat, would require President Barack Obama to give Mexico and Canada six months notice that the United States will no longer be part of the 16-year-old trade pact.

Next up: a vote later this year on whether to stay in the WTO.
