I believe that the most important changes are in the realm of labor. Although "maliquadoras" remain legal under the new agreement, I believe that they will become much less appealing and that over time many will cease to exist.



A key tenet of "globalism" seems to be that one should find the country with the poorest workers, set up your factories there, and "keep them poor." (And/Or to bring those workers into your own country, and, once there, also "keep them poor.")



Good international relationships should improve both the countries who participate and, from top to bottom, the lives of the people who actually live and work in them. For decades, agreements such as NAFTA purposely did the opposite. They were in my opinion "mutually exploitative," and engineered to be so. I believe that nations are now going to become smarter about such matters, and to negotiate better treaties among themselves. USMCA (and "Brexit") is among the first of such moves, not the last.
