Under USMCA, U.S. agriculture exports are estimated to increase by $2.2 billion. Following Are Blunt's Remarks: Well any time in the last year, including any time in the last three months, I've had a lot more questions in Missouri about when are you going to get to USMCA,' than I've had about impeachment. People that make pickup trucks, and airplanes, and put things in aluminum cans, and farmers who grow crops, all have been waiting for us to step up and see the Congress deal with the agreement that was negotiated initially over a year ago, to see the House bring that to the floor so the Senate could then have the opportunity to deal with it. Anything that's good for us and our relationships with our number one trading partner in the world, Mexico, and our number two trading partner in the world, Canada, is something that the Congress needs to get done. It's good for our neighborhood, it's good for the Western Hemisphere, it's good for workers and paychecks and families. On the three legged stool that you launch an economy with, good tax policy, great regulatory policy, and good trade policy make all the difference. We've had two of those going for us, and as we move toward completion of the Japan agreement between now and the first of the year, according to the U.S. Trade Ambassador, in all likelihood, and getting certainty about USMCA - that third launching pad of the strongest economy we've seen in 50 years will be in place as well and it will make a big difference. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
