You don't understand national security. It's not a flip-flop, it's a "carve-out".
Our armed forces consume over 3% of the steel used in this country Since only 72.5% of that steel comes from domestic sources, we have to insure that the military will always have the hardware they need. So we desperately need the 25% of our imports that come from Canada and Mexico.
And to get the "carve-out", they have to "cave-in" to The Donald's version of NAFTA.
