This week represented the best of times and the worst of times. Yesterday displayed the worst of times by impeaching the President for political reasons and reversing the will of 63 million Americans. Today, however, represents the best of times by finally voting to approve the USMCA. This historic agreement, which has been held up by Speaker Pelosi for over a year, will bring 176,000 new jobs and spur $68 billion in new economic activity. It removes trade barriers for our ag products, creating new markets for our farmers and helping rural America as a result. Encouragingly, the auto industry will benefit as well. Just last week, General Motors announced that it would be investing over $1 billion in a truck plant in my home State of Missouri due to the USMCA. This agreement moves our relationship with Mexico and Canada into the 21st century, and will benefit the American farmer, the American worker, and the American consumer. I applaud President Trump for delivering on this historic trade agreement. I look forward to voting ``yes'' on the USMCA and bringing more jobs to our great country.

I appreciate what my colleague is trying to do, but I do think that it is unnecessary, it is excessive, and it is redundant. The author of the amendment already said it is already being done. And servicemembers already have access to…
