This Trump shutdown is forcing servicemembers and retirees to go without pay. Yes, our President is withholding Coast Guard pay because of his reckless demands. Who does that? A constituent wrote to me: As a Coast Guard retiree, I am facing no pay during the shutdown. It is outrageous that, after 26 years of service, I face financial troubles due to my country not facing its obligations. I agree. This is unacceptable for those who served our country, and it is unacceptable for those currently serving and not getting paid. Can't we agree that supporting the Coast Guard is better than having a stalemate on a political issue? We must take action to help our servicemembers and hardworking government employees, and our whole economy, which is being hurt even more than we thought. Madam Speaker, how can the President think it is a good idea for national security to not pay those who protect us? ____________________

I thank Chairman Neal for yielding. Trade negotiations are not for the faint of heart. Few votes have generated more passion in this Chamber than votes on trade agreements. That is why I am so glad that we finally have an agreement that…
