NAFTA (USMCA)
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is an agreement signed by Canada, Mexico, and the United States, creating a trilateral trade bloc in North America. The agreement came into force on January 1, 1994, and superseded the 1988 Canada–United States Free Trade Agreement between the United States and Canada. The NAFTA trade bloc is one of the largest trade blocs in the world by GDP. After U.S. President Donald Trump took office in January 2017, he sought to replace NAFTA with a new agreement, beginning negotiations with Canada and Mexico. In September 2018, the United States, Mexico, and Canada reached an agreement to replace NAFTA with the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA). NAFTA will remain in force, pending the ratification of the USMCA.

Trump Told Mexico "we want to raise wages for Mexican workers"

from The Gray Area,

The question keeps coming up, why is Mexico so enthusiastic about renegotiating NAFTA? One reason is that Trump is making it good for Mexico. For example, this deal is designed to help Mexico raise wages of Mexican workers. What? Really? Yes. And by raising wages of Mexican workers it will erode a labor cost advantage and bring American auto-sector jobs back.
