NAFTA's Digital Trade chapter could be finalized next month all before the public has seen a single word of it. The fifth round of re-negotiations for NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) finished last week in Mexico and the Digital Trade section might be forced through, unseen by the public, during the next round on December 11th in Washington, DC.
The fifth round of negotiations over a modernized North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) wound up last week in Mexico. Following conclusion of the round, Mexican Trade Minister Ildefonso Guajardo told reporters that he hoped that the next round, to be held in Washington, DC in the week of 11 December, could see sufficient progress made that the agreement's Digital Trade chapter could be closed... all before the public has seen a single word of it.

All of them, without exception.
If you really hate free trade but the public loves it, what do you?
Call your protectionism 'free trade.' Stick it in the title.
After a few decades of getting screwed by 'free trade' those nasty little people won't want it anymore.
Free trade isn't something you write a treaty or an agreement for, that should be the first red flag.
