Mexico's
former president, Vicente Fox, made an astounding admission last
night on CNN's Larry King Live when he acknowledged the plan for a
NAFTA single currency, a "euro-dollar" as King labeled it.
Fox also vowed to help unite the America's beyond a trade agreement,
following what he described as "a new vision, like we are trying to
do with NAFTA".
The comments follow Fox's appearance on The Daily Show in which he
advocated the creation of a North American Union based on the model
of the European Union.
KING: E-mail from Mrs. Gonzalez in Elizabeth, New Jersey. "Mr. Fox,
I would like to know how you feel about the possibility of having a
Latin America united with one currency?"
FOX: Long term, very long term. What we propose together, President
Bush and myself, it's ALCA, which is a trade union for all of the
Americas. And everything was running fluently until Hugo Chavez
came. He decided to isolate himself. He decided to combat the idea
and destroy the idea...
KING: It's going to be like the euro dollar, you mean?
FOX: Well, that would be long, long term. I think the processes to
go, first step into is trading agreement. And then further on, a new
vision, like we are trying to do with NAFTA.
In a recent
appearance on The Daily Show With John Stewart, Fox also expressed
his desire for a North American Union based on the model of the
European Union.
