This agreement, which will replace NAFTA, had been delayed for a year over Democrat political concerns and labor union opposition. LaMalfa said:Despite a year of partisan delays, today's news of a final agreement on USMCA is great for America and our citizens. This trade deal will will open new markets for our farmers and protect America manufacturing. It sets a new standard for digital and intellectual property that should be the model of all agreements moving forward. I'm happy to see this deal finally come up for a vote after a year. It is a credit to President Trump and his negotiating team to have won support for such a far reaching reform of an outdated trade deal. I hope we can pass this rather than focusing on the sideshow of impeachment. Congressman Doug LaMalfa is a lifelong farmer representing California's First Congressional District, including Butte, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou and Tehama Counties. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
