Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shows gratitude for the Mexican senate pin that he was given during his visit to senate chambers, in Mexico City, Friday, Oct. 13, 2017. The issue of Mexico’s persistently low wage rates came up up again during Trudeau’s first official visit to Mexico. Trudeau said in a speech to the senate Friday that support for NAFTA “depends on the fruits of this trade being fairly shared.” Mexican auto workers, for example, often earn about $2 per hour, a fraction of the $30 or more per hour made by workers in the other two countries.
