Veasey | V000131 | veasey.house.gov | veasey | https://veasey.house.gov/media-center/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. –Congressman Marc Veasey (TX-33) released the following statement after he joined his colleagues to pass the United States Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA): "Today, I had the opportunity to pass a newly renegotiated trade deal, better known as the United States Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA), that has the strongest enforcement mechanisms of any U.S. trade agreement, as well as critical victories for workers, lower prescription drug costs and environmental protections. The end result of this bipartisan trade agreement is a vast improvement over the original North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the agreement negotiated by President Trump last year. Today's deal is also critical to our North Texas economy, as Texas is the number one trade state in the country, and nearly one million Texas jobs are supported by trade with Canada and Mexico. While I praise today's passage of this legislation, I know that no deal is perfect. This deal alone will not solve the problems of outsourcing, income inequality or climate change. Therefore, USMCA is not a model moving forward, but it establishes important principles we can build from in future trade deals. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-27T23:45:33Z |
