As a member of Speaker Pelosi's USMCA Trade Working Group, Katherine Tai and I worked hand in hand to re-negotiate the new NAFTA alongside my colleagues. We traveled to Mexico in July 2019 to meet with Mexican President Lpez Obrador to discuss the importance of raising labor standards and enforcement provisions in any new agreement that would support and protect worker's rights. We met with workers in San Luis Potosi to hear about workplace conditions and the challenges to democratically unionizing in Mexico. We had tough conversations and negotiations with the outgoing administration, and Katherine was an invaluable asset on every issue under consideration, every step of the way. Through all the battles we've fought, I've witnessed firsthand Katherine's strength, integrity, and commitment to creating better lives for working families. I am grateful to President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris for this appointment. Katherine Tai's nomination will be the first step toward ensuring our trade agreements protect workers, the environment, and the creation of American jobs. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
