A
Some of the politicians who now publicly support extending free trade to other Latin American countries did not support free trade among Canada, the United States, and Mexico.

C
Some of the politicians who strongly supported free trade among Canada, the United States, and Mexico have changed their position on free trade.
Could be false. We don’t have any information to infer whether these politicians have changed their position. It is possible that these politicians have never supported the idea of extending free trade to Latin American countries.
D
Not all politicians who strongly supported free trade among Canada, the United States, and Mexico now publicly support extending free trade to other Latin American countries.
Must be true. “Not all politicians” is equivalent to claiming that some politicians do not.
