Canadians living and working in the U.S. under the NAFTA treaty could be forced to return north as President-elect Donald Trump threatens to rip up the 1994 agreement.

Trump described the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico as the worst ever signed by America during his campaign for election.

Although much of his rhetoric has softened since beating Hillary Clinton to the White House, at the very least he can be expected to renegotiate the terms of the deal.
