MNI POLICY: USMCA Deal Good For All Americans: Lighthizer

By Brooke Migdon

     WASHINGTON (MNI) - U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said Tuesday

that the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement will "benefit all Americans" and

will be a model for all future U.S. trade deals.

     "Thanks to President Trump's leadership, we have reached an historic

agreement on the USMCA. After working with Republicans, Democrats, and many

other stakeholders for the past two years we have created a deal that will

benefit American workers, farmers, and ranchers for years to come. This will be

the model for American trade deals going forward," a statement from Lighthizer's

USTR said.

     House Democrats and Republicans reached an agreement on the revised trade

accord Tuesday, with a vote expected next week, followed by a vote in the

Senate. 

     A signing ceremony in Mexico City is expected to follow soon after.
