"NAFTA at risk of ending? No. NAFTA will continue between Canada and Mexico because at the end of the day, what is important is you send a message that you believe in free trade. The U.S. is the one that will decide to be in or out."

The World will have to learn to trade without US -- this essentially is building a "Trade Firewall" against US so as to prevent Trump led US from destroying Global Trade and Global Economy.

By shielding US from trade, Trump will not be able to hurt other Countries when he start to levy tariff or start trade war against any Countries in the World.

And both Canada and Mexico should actively search for other trade deals - bilateral or multi-lateral trade deals to replace US as the trade partners to compensate, mitigate or cushion its loss.

Go ahead, the big loser will be mexico. US Can just impose high tax on Mexico import and put tariff on US business operating at Mexico. US businesses they can just sshift job to Vietnam, Indonesia or India. These country have better opportunities.
