Meanwhile, Trump is also having meetings with the Mexican and Canadian governments, as part of the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreements (or NAFTA). In advance of the meetings, Reuters reported that all three governments signed non-disclosure agreements about the NAFTA talks. This, however, didn't stop Trump from taking to Twitter to vent his opinion on how the talks were going:Shot, chaser, etc. pic.twitter.com/FukubUlj7J

He also took time out to remind everyone of that big election promise he made that hasn't materialised in any real wayWe are in the NAFTA (worst trade deal ever made) renegotiation process with Mexico & Canada.Both being very difficult,may have to terminate?

And on top of that, right in between two tweets about the record rainfall recorded from the hurricane, Trump tweeted a book recommendation:With Mexico being one of the highest crime Nations in the world, we must have THE WALL. Mexico will pay for it through reimbursement/other.

While this in itself may be little more than bad timing, it becomes a real issue for some when the author is a polarising sheriff who celebrated Trump not taking sides in the wake of the Charlottesville rally, plus the plug for the book arrives just a day after Trump pardoned Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Arizona, who had been convicted of contempt for violating a federal court order to stop detaining people solely based on their immigration status.A great book by a great guy, highly recommended! https://t.co/3jbDDN8YmJ
