Trade deal gets largely positive NH reviews

New Hampshire’s political and business leaders praised a renegotiated trade agreement between the U.S., Canada and Mexico announced Tuesday. Here New Hampshire officials discussed the issue during a conference last month.

HANOVER — New Hampshire needs a new trade agreement between the United States, Canada and Mexico, business leaders told U.S. Rep. Annie Kuster on Wednesday.

“Canadians are the best market the U.S. has,” said Bill Lane, the executive director of Trade for America. “The average Canadian buys eight times more American products than Americans buy of Canadian products. If there is any kind of trade imbalance it’s because there are not enough Canadians.”
