President Obama meeting with Canada's prime minister on his first official trip abroad. Obama warned against a "strong impulse" toward protectionism while the world suffers a global economic recession and said efforts to renegotiate NAFTA will have to wait. Obama said he wants to find a way to keep his campaign pledge to add labor and environmental standards to the continent's trade agreements without interrupting trade. This sounds good; maybe we will get out of this with some help from our neighboring countries. Obama said during the campaign that he would consider opting out of NAFTA if he was unable to renegotiate it.
