While I'm disappointed Democrats needlessly held it up for more than a year, I'm proud to have helped get the USMCA across the finish line so it can finally bring more jobs, higher wages and greater opportunities to hardworking Louisianians. Louisiana heavily relies upon a vibrant trading relationship with Canada and Mexico. Last year alone, our state exported $12.7 billion in goods to these nations. The USMCA builds upon this success by expanding market access and modernizing our trading relationship with Canada and Mexico in a way that is favorable to Louisiana businesses and workers. It's a shame House Democrats have used the vital reforms provided by the USMCA as a political prop in their larger impeachment charade. Americans' success should never be used as leverage for the benefit of the Democrat majority's political agenda. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
