2. What do you think motivated the Teamasters to object to the trucking provision in NAFTA? Are these objections fair? Why did Congress initially align itself with Teamasters?
3. Did it make economic sense for the United States to bear the cost punitive tariffs as allowed for under NAFTA, as opposed to letting Mexican trucks enter Untied States?
4. Why do you think the Obama administration brokered a deal with Mexico to allow Mexican truck drivers to access the United States? Do you think this is a reasonable deal?
