President Trump often says that his “America First” foreign policy does not mean “America Alone.” Nowhere is this better exemplified than in the new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). USMCA is a trilateral trade deal that replaces the outdated, ineffective North American Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and better positions the American economy and its
private sector for success. USMCA reflects the reality of the United States’ expansive trade relationships with Canada and Mexico, ensuring that American companies are protected while operating abroad and the American people are reaping the benefits of cross-border partnership. It also provides assurance that in times of natural...

The USMCA is now in full effect. It
replaces the decades old North America Free Trade Agreement. According to the USDA, Canada and Mexico were our top two trading partners in 2019. They also say that the USMCA contains significant improvements to rules of origin, ag market access, and labor issues. The U.S. Treasury Department's Monica Crowley believes that those improvements will have a very positive impact on our farmers and ranchers. "President Trump promised that he would scrap NAFTA, which was a horrendous trade deal, particularly for our nation's farmers... He promised to scrap that and replace it with...

Ignored by Corrupt News Media, USMCA Takes Effect

In case you missed this bit of real news amid all of the false hysteria over COVID-19 and the fake story on the “Russia briefing” being spread by our corrupt news media, the U.S./Mexico/Canada Agreement (USMCA) took effect today. It’s
a really big deal, for one reason no one likes to talk about. From today forward, Canada and Mexico will no longer be able to ship goods made in China but assembled in their countries into the U.S. free of tariffs, a practice both countries had engaged in to the huge disadvantage of the U.S. for the previous 25 years...

President Donald Trump was elected in part on his promise to change the direction of U.S. trade policy so it would put America first. He
has kept that promise with new trade agreements and tough enforcement actions that break down foreign trade barriers, protect America’s competitive edge and stop the outsourcing of U.S. jobs. A key Trump success — and an important promise kept — has been to end the job-killing North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and replace it with a complete and long-overdue transformation. To replace NAFTA, Trump negotiated a modern, state-of-the-art trade agreement with Mexico and Canada...

The Canadian Parliament on Friday ratified the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement on trade, making Canada the third and final country needed to make the trade pact official and replace the 1993 North American Free Trade Agreement. The USMCA had faced opposition in the Canadian Parliament and became stuck in a committee for several weeks.
That delayed the adoption of the deal for two months after the United States ratified it and even held a signing ceremony. Mexico approved the deal last year. "Now that the USMCA has been approved by all three countries, a historic new chapter for North American trade has...

The USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement) is the new North American trade agreement and is commonly considered to be the replacement of NAFTA. It indeed carries on much of the legacy of the earlier agreement. However,
as an agreement updated for the 2020s and beyond, USMCA is set to provide significant benefits to the nearshore outsourcing industry throughout North America. In this article, NearShore Technology discusses how USMCA promotes nearshoring for American companies in all industries.How the USMCA Updates NAFTA The USMCA was negotiated in order to replace NAFTA, which had been in place since 1994.

President Trump appeared to mock House Speaker Nancy Pelosi this week by gleefully handing out souvenir pens at the USMCA signing ceremony — a move that came after Pelosi was slammed for handing out souvenir pens with her name on them on the day she signed the resolution to transmit two articles
of impeachment against Trump to the Senate. Pelosi, D-Calif., gave out the commemorative pens Jan. 15 to a number of House Democrats who were involved in impeachment, a stark contrast from what she had repeatedly said was a “somber” and “prayerful” act. This led a number of commentators...

Better to have the pig farmers than the bleating pig herself. – At Wednesday’s signing ceremony for the huge US/Mexico/Canada Trade Agreement (USMCA), President Donald Trump ensured that representatives from the nation’s hog farmers were in attendance, given the deal’s heavy focus on pork and agricultural goods. But
here’s who he didn’t invite to be there the landmark agreement was signed into law: After allowing many of her House Democrats vote for the bill along with the Republicans in December, Pelosi made a point of claiming to have forced “major revisions” to the initial draft that had been agreed-to by...

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 New American ^
| 07 October, 2019 | Christian Gomez
On December 19, 2019, by a vote of 385 Yeas to 41 Nays, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the United-States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Implementation Act (H.R. 5430). If
passed by the U.S. Senate and signed into law, this 239-page bill would both approve and implement the now 2,410-page United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which is intended to replace the original 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). As The New American has previously covered (here, here, and here), there are many problems with the USMCA that outweigh any potential economic benefits — mainly how it would erode America’s national sovereignty in...

I consider myself to be a political “Independent”, a long time ex- member of the Republican Compromise Party, and never, never ever a member of the “Klan of New Bolsheviks Party” (formerly Democrats). No one has been a firmer supporter, in general, of President Trump, his policies, his patriotism, and his determination
to “Make America Great Again”, than I have been, despite his actual or conjectured moral lapses over the years (lapses which have also surfaced in almost EVERY POTUS since our beginning)! Right from the beginning of his administration in January of 2017 he appeared determined to protect Americans...

Trump Slams Pelosi After USMCA Trade Deal: 'She Knows Nothing'

President Donald Trump is not impressed with Democrats' decision to finally approve the USMCA Trade Deal in Congress. According to Trump, Democrats' decision to eventually throw their support behind it was purely a political move. "The
ONLY reason we were able to get out great USMCA Trade Deal approved," Trump wrote on Twitter just before everybody else was celebrating Christmas Eve, "was because the Do Nothing Democrats wanted to show that they could approve something productive in light of the fact that all they even think about is impeachment." He ended this tweet with an attack on Nancy Pelosi personally....
