What does this mean?

Because the way I read your comments that suggests that if the
US/Mexico/Canada reach a "new and improved" Free Trade Agreement this
would prevent it from coming into effect?

Because rightly or wrongly I'm under the impression that the US
requires all treaties to be approved by Congress. The most egregious
example was the Treaty of Versailles (the peace treaty with Germany i
WW1) which Woodrow Wilson was very much involved in creating but which
was rejected by Congress with results that led to an isolationist
period in America just when Hitler was building his power.

Similarly I'm old enough to remember that with the original US Canada
FTA (Can't remember the year but 1980s) Congress very much DID ratify
the treaty.
