This month marks 1 year since the Trump administration negotiated the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. USMCA is undoubtedly a win for Missourians and for all Americans. The agreement will bring 176,000 new jobs and will spur $63 billion in new economic activity. Benefits of USMCA will be felt across diverse industries, including many of our manufacturing industries, agriculture, and small businesses, while also supporting technology and innovation. But month after month, this Congress has been subject to missed opportunities for our producers and consumers as we have been refused the chance to vote on the USMCA. This needs to change. Instead of House leaders squandering precious legislative time bringing up impeachment inquiries, they should be bringing up USMCA for a vote. Let us hope that we get this opportunity soon. That would be a positive win for all Americans. ____________________
