President Trump said on Tuesday that renewing the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement matters more to Mexico and Canada than to the United States. Asked whether he would renew the pact, he said "I don't care. I mean, I actually don't really want to. I'd rather be independent. The key is: Mexico and Canada need us, but we don't need them. The agreement is important to them, not to us."
