Original Note:
False. Canada received $251 thousand in US 'subsidies' in '24, $7.3M in '23. Mexico received $223M in 2023 and $44M in 2024. USMCA, USAID, & IMMEX programs dispense small amounts. NAFTA tariff reductions are not subsidies and led to lower prices for consumers. https://www.foreignassistance.gov/ https://www.state.gov/u-s-relations-with-mexico/ https://www.investopedia.com/articles/economics/08/north-american-free-trade-agreement.asp#:~:text=In%20many%20ways%2C%20NAFTA%20led,certain%20sectors%20received%20employment%20boosts.
