in North America, 40 percent must be made by workers earning at least $16 an hour.
President Trump called Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto today to congratulate him and talk
up the new deal with a new name.
DONALD TRUMP, President of the United States: They used to call it NAFTA.
We're going to call it the United States Mexico trade agreement.
We will get rid of the name NAFTA.
It has a bad connotation because the United States was hurt very badly by NAFTA for many
years.
And now it's a really good deal for both countries.
JOHN YANG: Now the administration has to negotiate with Canada.
Mr. Trump pledged to negotiate fairly if Canada does too.
The Canadian Foreign Ministry said it's encouraged by the progress so far.

He was equally parts funny and furious, foulmouthed and statesmanlike.
He could put the temper in temperament.
He was a brave and honest man.
He was a patriot.
SEN.
MITCH MCCONNELL (R-KY), Majority Leader: He would fight like mad to bring the country
closer to his vision of the common good.
But when the day's disputes were over, that very same man was one of our most powerful
reminders that so much more unites us than divides us.
