Pelosi met with Canadian PM Justin Trudeau on Capitol Hill after his White House meeting with President Trump. The two are discussing global security and trade, and this comes one day after Mexico became the first of the three nations to pass the USMCA
Passage in Mexico comes less than three weeks after Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s administration submitted the required texts for Mexican lawmakers to approve the deal. The Mexican leader was forced to call an extraordinary session to consider the deal after it broke off for recess at the end of April.
“The USMCA is synonymous with opportunity in the short and long term,” Sen. Verónica Martínez García, secretary of the Senate’s Economy Commission, said on the Senate floor. That means it’s possible that the text Mexico just approved is not what the final agreement will look like. U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer told lawmakers this week that "there's room“ to bolster enforcement of the agreement. He also emphasized he would work with Democrats to address their other concerns.
