At a high-profile campaign-style rally in Phoenix on Tuesday night, Trump predicted that the United States would “end up probably terminating” NAFTA “at some point,” though he said he hadn’t made a final decision. “Personally,” Trump said, “I don’t think we can make a deal because we have been so badly taken advantage of.” The president had made the same threat in April but then reversed himself after a pushback from American businesses, especially farm groups, which have bene- fited from expanded access to the Mexican market resulting from NAFTA. The president’s renewed threat Tuesday reignited such concerns. “Abruptly ending NAFTA could create a string of unintended consequences that need to be carefully considered,” said Ann Wilson, an executive at the Motor & Equipment Manu- facturers Association, which represents auto suppliers. “Mexico and Canada are trusted trade partners to the U.S., and, as a result, we are strong national security partners. We should not take that for granted.” NAFTA erased most trade barriers separating the U.S., Canada and Mexico and fostered a rapid rise in commerce and closer diplo- matic ties among the three countries. But the agreement has long fueled heated criticism in the United States because it led some American-based manufacturers to move oper- ations south of the border to capitalize on lower-wage AP Photo/Rick Scuteri President Donald Trump gestures to the crowd while speaking at a rally at the Phoenix Convention Center, Tuesday in Phoenix. Mexican labor. Trump has condemned NAFTA as “the worst trade deal in history” and prom- ised to fix it — or drop out of it altogether. As negotiations on a NAFTA overhaul began last week in Washington, there was wide agreement on the need to modernize the pact to reflect changes over the past two decades, such as the rise of e-commerce. Still, U.S. Trade Rep. Robert Lighthizer warned that the United States wouldn’t settle for a “mere tweaking of a few provisions and an updating of a few chapters.” Saying NAFTA had cost America hundreds of thousands of jobs, Lighthizer insisted on the need to take steps to reduce America’s trade deficit and to ensure that more of the goods that qualify for NAFTA’s duty-free status be made in the United States. Canada and Mexico oppose that idea. Most economists say NAFTA has had only a modest net effect on U.S. jobs because expanded commerce with Canada and Mexico has also created jobs and because trade represents a relatively small part of the U.S. economy. After a five-day opening round, the three countries issued a statement that said they would resume talks in Mexico on Sept. 1-5; in Canada in late September; and back in the United States in October. More rounds will likely follow. James Jones, who served as President Bill Clinton’s ambassador to Mexico and helped negotiate NAFTA in the mid-1990s, predicted that Lighthizer and his team of negotiators would seek to use Trump’s tough talk to their advantage. “They’ll try to play it in a way that strengthens their hands,” said Jones, now chairman of the financial advisory firm Monarch Global Strategies. “They’ll tell the other negotiating teams, ‘I’m reasonable, but I report to a boss who’s less reasonable.’ “ Jones predicted that “sanity will prevail” — that the U.S. government will recognize that the United States benefits from an economically unified North America. Daniel Ujczo, a trade lawyer with Dickinson Wright, said he doubts that an overhauled NAFTA would do much to narrow America’s trade deficit or restore lost U.S. manufac- turing jobs — results that Trump had vowed to deliver to the blue-collar voters in the Midwest who helped elect him. “There’s not enough red meat to be gained in the NAFTA modernization to satisfy those voters,” Ujczo said. “The president’s going to have to make a choice when he get a pretty vanilla NAFTA modernization — whether or not he’s going to withdraw.” A U.S. move to abandon the agreement would likely trigger a political furor. American manufacturers have invested heavily in supply chains that straddle NAFTA borders and have come to depend on duty-free shipments within the trade bloc. In Congress, farm-state lawmakers have urged U.S. negotiators to do nothing that would imperil U.S. agri- cultural exports to Mexico and Canada. “NAFTA has been incredibly successful for our industry,” said Jennifer Myers, a spokeswoman for the National Corn Growers Association. “We are closely monitoring negotiations and will continue to advocate for corn farmers’ interests throughout this process.” AP Photo/Susan Walsh, File In this 2012 file photo, a side mirror warning signal in a Ford Taurus at an automobile testing area in Oxon Hill, Md. Studies: Automated safety systems are preventing car crashes WASHINGTON (AP) — Safety systems to prevent cars from drifting into another lane or that warn drivers of vehicles in their blind spots are beginning to live up to their potential to reduce crashes significantly, according to two studies released Wednesday. At the same time, research by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety raises concern that drivers may be less vigilant when relying on automated safety systems or become distracted by dashboard displays that monitor how the systems are performing. The two institute studies found that lane-keeping systems, some of which even nudge the vehicle back into its lane for the driver, and blind-spot monitoring systems had lower crash rates than the same vehicles without the systems. The lane-keeping study looked at police crash data from 25 states between 2009 and 2015 for vehicle models where the systems were sold as optional. Lane-keeping systems lowered rates of single-vehicle, sideswipe and head-on crashes of all severities by 11 percent, and crashes of those types in which there were injuries, by T HURSDAY A FTERNOON & E VENING ABC NBC CBS FOX 12 PM 12:30 1 PM (11) KFFX KPTV (19) KEPR KOIN (25) KNDU KGW (42) KVEW KATU PBS (31) KTNW (59) OPB Paid Name Bold & B.

Because there were only 40 fatal crashes in the data, researchers used a simpler analysis that didn’t control for differences in drivers’ ages, genders, insurance risk and other factors for those crashes. They found the technology cut the fatal crash rate by 86 percent. That’s probably high, said Jessica Cicchino, the institute’s vice president for research, but even if lane- keeping systems cut such crashes by half it would be significant, she said. Cicchino said about a quarter of traffic fatalities involve a vehicle drifting into another lane. “Now we have evidence that this technology really can save lives and has the potential to prevent thou- sands of deaths once it’s on every vehicle,” Cicchino said. Lane-keeping, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic braking systems, which can prevent rear-end crashes, are some of the building blocks of self-driving car technology. Greg Brannon, the Auto- mobile Association of Amer- ica’s director of automotive engineering, called the insti- tute’s studies “encouraging.” 2:30 3 PM 3:30 4 PM 4:30 5 PM 5:30 Last Last Man St. Man St. News (N) News News (N) (N) News News Local NBCN- News ews (N) News News News News (N) (N) News News Biz Kid$ Business (N) Odd Wild Squad Kratts 5 PM 5:30 6 PM 6:30 7 PM 7:30 8 PM 8:30 9 PM 9:30 10 PM 10:30 11 PM 11:30 Modern Modern Family Family News (N) News Inside (N) Edition News News Local Family News Feud KGW News (N) Extra News (N) News News PBS NewsHour (N) 2 Broke 2 Broke Shazam "Episode Love "Episode First at :35 Law & Order: :35 Anger Girls Girls Twelve" (N) Twelve" (N) Ten (N) C.I.
