Mexico gdp per capita, $10,000

USA: $70,000

It's going to be a heinously asymmetric exchange. Good longterm trade demands equity. Not equality, but some basic equity. Australia's experience with US trade negotiations is that it's highly distorted and suits America better. The TPP was shedloads better without the US, for everyone else.

I'm not saying it's a bad aspiration, just "be careful what you wish for"

That said, NAFTA wasn't bad for Mexico. There's hope.
