U.S. House Speaker seeks to pass trade deal with Mexico, Canada this year

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi speaks at a news conference with DACA recipients and Democratic congressional leaders after the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in cases before the court regarding the Trump administration’s bid to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, U.S., November 12, 2019.

“We are moving positively in terms of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement. Again, it all comes down to ... enforcement,” she told reporters at a news conference “I do believe that if we can get this to the place it needs to be, which is imminent, that this can be a template for future trade agreements.”

Mexico has already ratified the new deal, while Canada has said it is waiting in order to move in tandem with the United States. The office of Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland was not immediately available for comment on Pelosi’s remarks. But a major U.S. labor leader, AFL-CIO union chief Richard Trumka, said last month the deal was unlikely to pass as is if it was brought for a vote in November given lingering concerns over labor and other issues.

...but what The SenateGOP are going to do?

I thought NAFTA had already been ratified?

why tho

She is actually going to do something constructive. Who knew that was possible?

They haven’t done a thing in years but go after Trump !

shesnottrump Dems require worker protections included as in original NAFTA, but discrimination is the essence of GOP policies.

She needs too.

I'm not holding my breath.

It's about time. I'll believe it when I see it. But maybe she's realizing she actually needs to do something for the American people if she wants a prayer of keeping the House next year. It would be nice. USMCAnow

A final realization that they have done nothing and will need at least something on the 'I came to work for my paycheck' column. I wonder if they will vote themselves another raise this year for doing nothing?

Sure.

House Republicans' defense strategy for impeachment hearings reveals flaws: AnalysisGOP staffers have floated a memo to House Republicans about how to best defend Trump during the public impeachment hearings. But it fails to address some of the damning allegations that Democrats will likely focus their questions on. The new strategy is “We just won’t participate, and call it partisan politics.” At this point, the ship has taken on so much water, that the waves are washing over the deck. Those lifeboats must be looking extremely tempting right now. Tomorrow the facts begin streaming into millions of homes, so this is a do or die moment for these GOP members.
