House Democrats met with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland and Labor Minister Patty Hadju Wednesday to discuss the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
“I particularly stressed the importance of meaningful enforcement mechanisms that ensure the protection of workers in all three nations and of our shared environment,” said House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., who led the delegation. “I’m pleased that our neighbors to the north also have a strong desire for an agreement that benefits our economies while also lifting up our people,” he added.
Meanwhile, Canadian news outlets reported Trudeau said is working with U.S. lawmakers to reach a “good place where we have the right deal for Canada, the United States and for Mexico. It is a pleasure to see the positive momentum that seems to be happening on this renewal of this very important trade deal.”
