TAMPA, Florida — Vice President Mike Pence told Breitbart News exclusively on Thursday that the Senate’s passage of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) trade agreement is a “huge win” for American workers and farmers.
Pence’s exclusive interview with Breitbart News, which came on his bus tour between Tampa and Orlando, for which he was conducting a campaign swing up the all-important I-4 corridor in the Sunshine State, came moments after the U.S. Senate passed the USMCA, 89-10. The overwhelming Senate vote came a month after the House in mid-December similarly passed the deal with overwhelming bipartisan support, as the USMCA sailed through the lower chamber last year with 385 votes.
“USMCA is a huge win for American workers and American farmers,” Pence told Breitbart News. “It is a historic achievement following decades of shuttered factories and lost jobs in the wake of NAFTA.”
During his trip here in a pair of speeches, one in Tampa and another in the Orlando suburb Kissimmee, Pence emphasized President Donald Trump’s theme of “promises made, promises kept.” In his interview with Breitbart News moments after the U.S. Senate passed the deal, thereby setting it up for President Trump to sign it, which he is expected to do soon, Pence emphasized that point. He noted that this was one of the biggest promises Trump made in 2016—to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)—which he has now delivered on.
