Donald Trump has reportedly recently asked advisers why he should not tear up the agreement with neighboring countries that was signed during his first term as president.

"The Mexicans are pretty pragmatic right now. We've had a lot of discussions with them. With the Canadians, it's more challenging," Greer said in an interview with Fox News.

Just over three-quarters of Canada's exports go to the U.S., and Mexico's trade exposure to the U.S. is also extensive.
