What NAFTA talks mean for workers, farmers, business and consumers? Also, President Trump warned in a campaign speech in Phoenix he may terminate NAFTA. Analysts also comment on Trump’s attacks on the media, his warnings he may shutdown government over funding for the border wall, and his message about pardoning convict Sheriff Arpaio. Also, a media organization released an advisory to journalists urging them to watch their backs after Trump’s speech.
