VANCOUVER Jordan Zimmermann Womens Jersey , Aug 16 (Xinhua) -- The first round of North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) talks got off to a rocky start in Washington Wednesday with the U.S.'s chief negotiator calling for a full overhaul of the 23-year-old pact, instead of simple tweaks.


Meanwhile, in Vancouver, trade experts cautioned that NAFTA talks could last many months or even years, as Canada James McCann Womens Jersey , Mexico and the U.S. iron out new provisions and chapters of the treaty, which U.S. President Donald Trump has called the worst trade deal ever signed.


Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland remarked Wednesday that Canada aims to maintain NAFTA as an engine for economic growth and jobs. She said her team of negotiators aim to cut red tape for business, make it easier for professionals to work North America-wide and to create a pact that boosts rights for labor, women and indigenous people, while also doing more to protect the environment.


""I want to be clear that (Trump) is not interested in a mere tweaking of a few provisions and a couple of updated chapters Ian Kinsler Womens Jersey ,"" U.S. trade representative Robert Lighthizer said during opening remarks in Washington. ""We feel that NAFTA has fundamentally failed many, many Americans and needs major improvement.""


Two trade and economy experts at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver said in separate interview with Xinhua Wednesday that the tough talk from the U.S. signals what will likely be combative and drawn-out negotiation, but both believed NAFTA will remain in place once the dust settles.


""This could really stretch out, and the U.S. wants to address trade imbalances, and that's going to be something that's unprecedented Denny Mclain Womens Jersey ,"" said John Ries, an international trade expert at UBC, referring to Trump's complaints over trade deficits with Mexico and Canada.


""I think (NAFTA talks) will stretch out for a long time, and maybe the year,"" he said Daniel Norris Womens Jersey , noting that Trump's complaints over trade deficits cut deep into the nature of free trade pacts.


He said Canada's desire to protect its supply managed dairy and poultry industries will also be a major sticking point.


""I think (the talks) could go off the rails, but I don't think that would mean no NAFTA agreement,"" Ries said. ""I think the status quo will prevail.""


If the U.S. decides to withdraw from NAFTA they are required to provide six month's notice, he said. ""That has been threatened but not executed. Whether or not Trump can withdraw without congressional support is an unclear issue. We could have legal wrangling and the treaty could stay in place for many years to come.""


He told Xinhua that the NAFTA talks could outlast Trump's own presidency.


""I just don't think that Trump has the political capital to do something that radical,"" Ries said. ""I'm not that pessimistic. It is my speculation and hope that it will be business as usual and we will have a pretty open trading environment.""


Fellow UBC trade expert James Brander said much won't be done in the first round of talks in Washington.


He told Xinhua that ""I'm expecting these first four days to just mainly deal with getting the proposals on the table in detail Anthony Gose Womens Jersey ,""


""Donald Trump is impatient, but trade negotiations always take a long time,"" he said.


Brander is equally optimistic that a form of NAFTA will remain in place whatever the outcome of these talks may be.


""Today, just starting out, the United States negotiations have taken a very strong - almost pugnacious position - which is not positive Anibal Sanchez Womens Jersey ,"" he said. ""It's a very bad start,"" he said. ""So, what if it does go off the rails?""


He said in that case, many layers of legal and constitutional questions remain in the U.S. over whether Trump could pull the U.S. out of NAFTA without the support of Congress.


""I think that probably the dominant position on that is that the president cannot do that,"" Brander said. ""That would require congressional approval and there is no way that congress would approve that. Not even a Republican congress.""

" At the on set of any Baseball season Alan Trammell Womens Jersey , parents have the high expectation that their child is key to the team success. This to a degree is true. The success of the team depends on each and every player. Problems arise between the perspectives of the Parents, Players and the Coach.

We each have our own self image which is likely quite different to how the rest of the world sees us. This also applies to our vision of our children. Crushing the ball for Dad in the back yard is great, but it does not always transfer to the diamond. By no means should any parent expect backyard confidence to compare with on field performance. It is a bar that will likely get knocked off the stands each time.

Coach's of all experience levels are the most qualified to position and play the players. Coach has a 'vision' of how all the parts will work in tandem. As a parent, we have to respect that in all levels of play. This person stood up to take the responsibility of being Baseball Coach when no one else did. Its a responsibility that takes a substantial amount of abuse.

I witnessed parents and grand-parents rip down a coach during a game in an effort to take out the weaker players and restructure the vision. His solution was quite enlightening. Every 5 to 10 minutes, he rotated all the players to different positions Al Kaline Womens Jersey , pitchers, catchers as well as on and off the bench.

They lost horribly, but from that moment on he was allowed to Coach the rest of the season without bleacher badger. It worked because as the 'key' players were rotated into the 'right' position, they all made errors from simple catching mistakes to 'why did you through to first when the runner was stealing third'.

He essentially had the loss (over 30 to 0) a complete community effort. As everyone was respo.
