Congressman Byrne said: Alabama scored a major victory today with the long-overdue House passage of USMCA. This trade deal strengthens relationships with two of Alabama's largest trading partners and will benefit businesses and industries large and small throughout the state, particularly in our agriculture, automotive manufacturing, steel, energy and high-tech sectors. And with the continued growth at the Port of Mobile, Alabama stands to benefit more than most. Many pundits said renegotiating NAFTA couldn't be done, but President Trump proved them wrong and scored a major victory for working Americans. The USMCA is projected to create 176,000 new American jobs and raise our GDP by $68.2 billion. The agreement raises the amount of made in America products Mexico and Canada will buy with exports to Canada increasing by an estimated $19 billion and exports increasing to Mexico by $14.2 billion. The bill passed today in the House and awaits further action in the Senate. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
