Banks released the following statement:\r\nAs the son of a factory worker who grew up in a home where NAFTA was a four letter word,' it is hard not to see today's House passage of USMA as not just a big win for American workers but also the biggest promise delivered yet by President Donald Tr\r\nThis trade deal will be a boon to northeast Indiana. Our farmers need it. Our manufacturers need it. Mexico and Canada are Indiana's two top trading partners, accounting for 47% of our exports and generating $18 billion in revenue for Hoosiers. Experts project this trade deal will generate 176,000 jobs and inject $68 billion into the gross national domestic product.\r\nFurthermore, the USMCA will give American businesses and farmers much-needed stability and empower the president to continue negotiating with China from a position of power. China's taken advantage of hardworking Americans for far too long, and we're finally doing something about it.\r\n###  \r\n\r\n    \r\n  \r\n  \r\n  \r\n    \r\n      f \r\n      t \r\n      #\r\n      e", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://banks.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1598"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.1216807179152966, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
