Pelosi Demanded Better Trade Deals -- But Ignores USMCA

Better trade deals and an equal playing field for American workers was a bipartisan issue that helped propel Donald J. Trump to victory in 2016.

We now have a better trade agreement for American workers.

The economic impact of the USMCA is more than three times the GDP growth estimated for the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement.

This means better jobs with higher wages, and an end to low-wage work incentivized by NAFTA. In sum: The USMCA will spur investment, create high-paying jobs, and put us on equal footing with our neighboring trade partners.

Just as they are stalling on whether to begin impeachment proceedings absent a crime, the Democrats are delaying a better trade agreement for American workers - based on political calculations.

"We will see how many Republicans now pretend to have been on the same side as Democrats in demanding a better trade agreement for American workers," she said just three days after the president took office.

Let's see how many Democrats join Republicans in voting for a better trade agreement they demanded for American workers.
