Speaker Pelosi Addresses USMCA Possibilities

“It boils down to enforceability... and I think it can be achieved,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Thursday relative to the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).

Meanwhile, House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson, D-Minn., said he expected Congress to vote on USMCA within the next one or two months.

"Right now, I am optimistic about getting this done," Peterson said during a rally in Washington in favor of the agreement.

Democrats are now examining information sent to them by U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, sparking more optimism that the issue will be headed for a vote. We continue to expect that a vote in the House will be held, likely in the November-December timeframe and it will be approved.
