Democratic lawmakers on both sides of the Capitol say the Trump administration has failed to satisfy concerns they’ve raised for months about the new trade deal with Canada and Mexico, threatening to sink President Donald Trump's top legislative priority.
In some respects, the environment for lawmakers to consider passing the deal is far friendlier than it was earlier this month, before Congress took a two-week recess that ended Monday. The U.S. International Trade Commission completed anda mandatory report on the economic impact of the agreement, which cleared one major milestone, and Mexico on Tuesday passed a landmark labor reform law required by the new pact.
As the legislative window for getting the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement done this year narrows, the White House is amping up pressure on Pelosi to change her tune. There do appear to be some signs that the Trump administration recognizes Democrats’ concerns and is open to making some changes in order to win their support. In a meeting at the White House Tuesday between Trump and a handful of Democratic lawmakers, which was supposed to be focused on infrastructure, “the No. 1 subject that he went off-topic on was USMCA,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Look closely, kids- Mulvaney's feigned puzzled, concerned glare is often on Tucker Carlson's mug. And their BOTH lying.
Which part of DOA wasn’t clear to the WhiteHouse
Pressure from the White House for Congress to vote on the new Mexico-Canada trade deal has been increasing as the time window for a vote closes. And pressure from the Congress to the White House on making good on Trumps 2016 promise to produce his tax returns has been increasing.
Government shouldn't be involved in trade. At all. I give you a buck, you give me a glass of lemonade. What do we need the government for?
Ignore the W/H like Trump ignored Congress's subpoena
Not sure it’s dawned on the White House that they will not get a single meaningful piece of legislation through for the next two years. Used all that capital on the tax bill
