House Democrats negotiated and fought for vital changes, including enhancing enforcement for violations of labor standards, increasing environmental protections, and removing provisions that would have raised the cost of prescription drugs for American families. "As we work tirelessly to carry out our constitutionally mandated oversight obligations, we work just as hard to deliver legislation that benefits all Americans, and this state-of-the-art trade agreement is an example of just that. The USMCA brings a 25-year-old trade agreement into the 21st Century and should serve as a template for bipartisan consensus in future trade agreements." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-27T23:45:33Z |
