So, a US trade expert is calling for trilateral talks among the US, Mexico, and Canada to get a cross-border trade deal signed. Let’s pull back the curtain on this and see what the mainstream media, like CNN and MSNBC, aren’t telling you. While they might commend the expertise involved, what they won’t say is that these “talks” are just another attempt by elites to preserve outdated trade agreements that favor corporate interests over American workers.

Fox News might take the angle that this is a win for national sovereignty, but let’s be real—where’s the actual advocacy for the American people? The corporate spin doctors love to parrot that these deals will create jobs and boost the economy. Do they ever ask who actually benefits? Spoiler alert: it’s not the everyday hardworking American. It’s the same big businesses that fund their campaigns and control the narrative.

Why are we not seeing any serious conversations about protecting American industries? Instead, all we hear is vague promises and diplomatic niceties while the average American gets left holding the bag. A trade deal should focus on jobs and resource allocation that directly benefits the taxpayer—not just the very top 1% who laugh all the way to the bank.

It’s time we demand transparency and accountability in these discussions. Enough with the feel-good phrases of cooperation that lead to nothing but further undermining American interests. We need real solutions, not more smoke and mirrors.
