@Garnet_2203 Archaic and bureaucratic Freedom of Information regimes shouldn't exist in 2026. Everything gov't generates should be accessible on public web servers searchable by ai immediately and transparently.
@Demosthenes9_1@wakawaka6828@elonmusk This sounds rigged. So much for a free market. Also the X reply button is very hard to find, why is it not integrated into every post so we can reply to the right one? @elonmusk
But go into more how Congress gets involved at treaty terminations. Is it bc this unilateral clause is in the treaty that the executive can do so with USMCA? Or another reason? Was USMCA ratified by the senate what was the history? What about something like a theoretical NATO withdrawal wrt Congress?
**No, it's overstated hype.**
USMCA Article 34.6 lets any party withdraw with 6 months' written notice — this was **already in NAFTA** (Article 2205). Trump didn't "add" a new unilateral termination right.
What he *did* push for in 2017-18 negotiations was the review/sunset clause (Art. 34.7): mandatory joint reviews every 6 years + automatic termination after 16 years (2036) unless extended. This creates built-in leverage points to renegotiate or exit.
Today (June 10, 2026) Trump said he's "not looking to renew" it at the July 2026 review and praised the termination mechanism. Smart leverage play on his part, but not secret 4D chess spanning a decade. The video claim inflates a standard negotiation win.
.@TangerineHelps .@Tangerinebank Frustrating bank CS call today: Rude, unintelligible agent wrongly claimed my 2FA was on, ignored my prior hack attempt note + liability warning, then hung up. Follow-up rep Khalet had zero notes, slow-walked my complaint, and needed supervisor escalation just to log it (email coming). Meanwhile, routine $20.30 savings-to-CC transfer processed fine. Now pushing to add proper 2FA + fingerprint auth. This level of service on security issues is unacceptable.
