By Erica Werner and Erica Werner Congressional reporter focusing on economic policy Email Bio Follow Damian Paletta Damian Paletta Reporter covering economic policy Email Bio Follow May 1 at 10:22 AM President Trump and senior White House officials are working to salvage political support for a revised trade pact with Mexico and Canada, stunned by bipartisan blowback that appeared likely to scuttle a key initiative.
“I think if you leave the White House today, the tone of the conversations were pretty good,” said House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal , who is locked in a separate battle with the White House over accessing Trump’s tax returns. Sen. Tim Scott , who has also raised concerns and is meeting with White House officials about trade issues on Thursday, said “something’s going to have to give or we won’t have a successful implementation or vote on the” new deal.
Trump has used a “take-it-or-leave-it” approach when negotiating with both Congress and foreign leaders in the past, but he is now handling the Canada-Mexico trade talks differently. Democrats have said they will insist on strict enforcement of labor standards in exchange for their vote, and they want union leaders to be on board with any deal. Top union officials have so far refused to endorse the deal until changes are made.
White House officials believe the trade deal they are trying to strike with China will not need congressional approval, but the Canada-Mexico deal will because it revises an existing trade agreement.
GlennKesslerWP I see Trump Fish lips aquiver, not a good sign
I'll be beside myself when this piece of shit is finally given his departing gift O~~O and hauled off for a several years 'vacation in a luxury suite IIIII (-prison cell bars) And there he can brag to other guest about what a big ☆ he thinks he is. They will '♡' him I'm sure
Best negotiator? 🙄🙄🙄 He doesn’t have the slightest clue as to what he’s talking about.
Dog ate his homework.
GOP fury?...where?! When?
TIL. I had no idea a shitgibbon had any charm.
What a loser dufus. Worst negotiator ever.
ONLY leftist rags like Washpo support a trade deal that cost Americans 100,000's of jobs.
Trump often talks about the positive effects of USMCA to his base when in reality USMCA hasn't been signed into law yet. His sheep will believe anything.
Thoughts and prayers.
GlennKesslerWP Yeah, let’s see how much Chuck Schumer complains, given that President realDonaldTrump improved terms for NY dairy farmers.
Lindsey graham is controlling what Barr is saying...!,,m
Great Job Soros. Don't allow orangemanbad to stop Maduro. Change the subject

Trump digs in against Democrats but there may yet be consequencesIt had been more than two years since Michael Caputo, the onetime campaign communications adviser to Donald Trump, had spoken to the man he helped elect president. It was a span that encompassed special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, a probe with which Caputo had cooperated. The title should read “trump digs in with the truth”. God Bless President Trump
