(Worthy News) – The House voted Thursday to pass President Trump’s U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement on trade, granting the White House a policy win just one day after impeaching the president.
The trade deal, passed 385-41, would replace the 1993 North American Free Trade Agreement.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi called USMCA a trade agreement that will serve as a model for future ones and transcended partisan politics. “If we can come together to support America’s working families and the president wants to take credit, so be it. That won’t stand in the way of our passing this,” she said. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
