President Trump is expected to sign the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement next Wednesday, officials say
Senators from both parties came together last week to pass one of Trump's foremost legislative priorities -- the revised North American Free Trade Agreement -- just days before his historic impeachment trial formally began..Among other changes from the Clinton-era NAFTA, the USMCA includes new provisions for digital commerce, more stringent rules of origin for auto parts and new minimum wage requirements for certain autoworkers.
The deal had the support of the largest labor union in the United States, the AFL-CIO, and staunch labor advocates in the Senate, Sens. Sherrod Brown and Elizabeth Warren.But some, such as Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, voted against it. Whitehouse said the environmental protections in the deal are not strong enough.The GOP remained largely behind Trump on the deal, despite new policies Republicans have opposed in the past.
