At the end of August Mexico and the US announced a preliminary agreement intended to replace the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) signed in 1994.

The brief history of Trump’s protectionism has been an eventful one. In the first year of his term the US focused on the renegotiation of NAFTA, which is currently on hold. In his second year concentrated efforts above all on measures and threats against China, which have intensified to the point where he has threatened to extend the measures to all imports from the China.

Latin America has not been spared from the onslaught of the process of monetary normalisation in the developed countries in recent months (especially by the Fed). Worldwide risk aversion is on the increase and capital flows which had earlier cheerfully sought out returns in the emerging economies are being re-routed.

By means of the media data (GDELT), we can monitor both the coverage and tone of NAFTA considering the main sources of information by country (US, Canada and Mexico). Media coverage increased at key moments during the NAFTA renegotiation process since President Trump’s victory.
