Mexico becomes first country to approve USMCA....passed with a 114-4 vote...

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador convened a special legislative session to hold the vote after the Senate convened in April..“The USMCA is synonymous with opportunity in the short and long term,” Mexican Sen. Verónica Martínez García said of the pact.

Canada has already introduced legislation through its parliament to ratify the agreement and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to lobby Democrats to support the USMCA during his visit to Washington, D.C., this week.

Meanwhile, the deal is running into some roadblocks , Speaker Nancy Pelosi has the authority to bring legislation on the matter before the chamber, but has expressed hesitation about the deal, which she says lacks adequate mechanisms to enforce its labor and environmental provisions.

If the agreement between the three North American countries gets finalized, it will replace NAFTA, which was established in 1994.

I’ll be surprised if the ‘Resistance Party’ brings it up.

They daren’t stop it, they’ve gotten a foretaste of just how bad the tariffs we’d impose would be for them.

Please define what the acronym stands for. It may seem obvious, but not to everyone. Correct usage dictates the acronym is placed in parenthesis after the full name is written out.

A U.S. Treaty is a document negotiated, signed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. So what has Pelosi got to do with it.

I believe it’s pretty straightforward: U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (on Trade). Pretty darned easy to put that in the comments below the excerpt, I agree.

So let me ask again under what authority is this being held up by Pelosi, I know the article says “Nancy Pelosi has the authority to bring legislation on the matter before the chamber”. But The President negotiates a treaty under the advise and consent of the Senate, how is the house even involved.
