USMCA Passes

The Senate passed the USMCA today by a vote of 89 to 10.  This treaty among the USA, Canada and Mexico replaces the flawed NAFTA trade agreement that was passed almost 30 years ago.  The expectations are that the revised agreement will bring faster economic growth in North America and hundreds of thousands of new jobs in the USA (and elsewhere).  The treaty was negotiated and signed by President Trump in 2018, but then the House Democrats stalled and stalled and stalled before they had no choice but to pass it about a month ago.  The Senate quickly followed.  Once again we have something quite beneficial to the USA and America's working men and women that the Democrats tried to stop for purely political reasons.

This is a big victory for the USA and for President Trump.
