Consul General, TC Director discuss NAFTA, protectionism in DMN

Dallas and Fort Worth Mayors returned from a trip to Toronto feeling both hope and anxiety over NAFTA, the Dallas Morning News reported.

DMN reporter Tristan Allman talked to Sara Wilshaw, Consul General of Canada in Dallas, about her thoughts on the Trump administration’s policies. Wilshaw underscored the importance of the trade relationship, saying she believes it should not only be maintained but strengthened as well.

Tower Center Academic Director Jim Hollifield told Allman the problem for trade is at the national level.

“At least at the local level, in these regions like Dallas-Fort Worth, the mayors have no doubt how important this is for the economic growth of the city and the region,” he said.
