Excerpt: US President Donald Trump has told Mexico and Canada he wants to renegotiate - not scrap - the North American Free Trade Agreement. Media reports on Wednesday had suggested Mr Trump was drafting an executive order to end the pact. During his election campaign Mr Trump called Nafta the "single worst trade deal ever" and a "killer" of US jobs. The reversal surprised markets, sending the Mexican peso and Canadian dollar higher after losses earlier this week. (As a free trade, free market conservative, this is good news. ~Bob)
