Congressman Abraham Declares Passage of USMCA Trade Deal a Win for American Families and Businesses

WASHINGTON - Congressman Ralph Abraham, M.D., R-Alto, welcomed the passage of the USMCA trade deal with Canada and Mexico on Thursday afternoon and declared it a win for American families and businesses. 

"After more than a year since President Trump struck this historic trade deal with Canada and Mexico, the House has finally passed USMCA," said Abraham. "It is absolutely unthinkable that Speaker Pelosi held it hostage for so long in pursuit of her partisan impeachment crusade against President Trump."

"This is yet another example of her abuse of power and I continue to call for her removal as Speaker of the House," Abraham continued. "The loss of income for our nation’s and state’s businesses over the past year is nothing short of legislative malpractice on her part." 

"I want to thank President Trump for his persistence and vision in negotiating this great deal for the hard working men and women of America."
