Congress to Trump: You need to keep Canada in the deal, and you might not have the legal right to proceed with Mexico alone

Trump to Congress: Nope and nope — and I’ll just kill the current NAFTA if you don’t let me proceed with Mexico alone
Trump has repeatedly threatened to terminate NAFTA if he doesn’t get a good deal, but this is the first time he’s said he’ll terminate NAFTA if Congress doesn’t let him do what he wants this month.
One interesting thing here: Trump’s off the record comments to Bloomberg suggested that he wants Canada in the deal — he didn’t want the comments released because he didn’t want to blow things up. Publicly, though, he claims indifference.
Agree it is confusing. Trump constantly says both of these things at once - we’d be far better off without any North American trade deal, but we’re negotiating a good deal. It’s like he’s both the good cop and the bad cop in the same sentence.
