WASHINGTON _ Democrats who have clashed with President Donald Trump on nearly every policy issue see room to cut a deal with the president on a renegotiated NAFTA trade agreement, if the liberal voices gaining volume in their party don't stop them.
Trump campaigned hard on a promise to strike a better deal for the North American Free Trade Agreement, and scored a tentative agreement with Canada and Mexico in October.
That plan must now be approved by the Senate, controlled by Republicans, and a Democratic-run House, where a set of new, more liberal members _ including self-described Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez _ have displayed outsized influence over their party since securing big wins on Election Day 2018.
