The U.S. House Passed a Trade Agreement with Mexico and Canada that Impacts Missouri Farmers
Missouri’s Republican House members, along with Democrat Emanuel Cleaver of Kansas City voted for the deal and Democrat Lacy Clay opposed it. The agreement often referred to as the USMCA, would replace the North American Free Trade Agreement. It includes a boost in U.S. access to Canadian dairy markets and tougher labor enforcement to deter companies from moving jobs out of the U.S.
Northern Missouri Republican Congressman Sam Graves is happy with USMCA’s passage, but not with Nancy Pelosi.
“Today’s approval of the USMCA is a huge victory for America and I was proud to support it. After more than a year of delay by Speaker Pelosi, we were finally able to get this common-sense trade agreement approved. President Trump promised to get a much better trade deal with Canada and Mexico and he kept his promise,” says Graves. “This agreement is a good deal for the American farmer, the American worker and the American family. I’m glad we finally got this done. It’s a big win for the American people.”
