Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer Chuck SchumerPelosi slams Trump executive order on pre-existing conditions: It 'isn't worth the paper it's signed on' 3 reasons why Biden is misreading the politics of court packing Cruz blocks amended resolution honoring Ginsburg over language about her dying wish MORE (N.Y.) warned on Monday that the Trump administration is going to have to compromise on elements of a new trade deal with Canada and Mexico if it is to have any chance of being implemented by Congress.

Schumer in a statement Friday said the labor and environmental provisions of the current deal are “too weak.”

“I am most interested in ensuring that any final agreement protects our dairy farmers and that there is real enforcement of new and tough labor provisions. The deal must also raise wages and should recognize that climate change is a grave threat to our countries’ economies and the health and safety of our citizens,” he said.

If approved by Congress, it would replace the 1994 North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

Now it’s Congress’s job to pass implementing legislation, which only needs a simple majority in both chambers under the Trade Promotion Authority law.

But under that law Congress must review and debate the legislation for a period of 30 days, which means the administration has to send the final document to Capitol Hill later Friday if it is to have any chance of receiving a vote before Democrats take control of the House in January.

Democrats refused to ratify the Colombia and South Korea free trade agreements negotiated by President George W. Bush when they controlled the House in 2007, 2008 and 2009.

Schumer signaled Friday morning that Democrats will push for tougher labor and environmental provisions.

“Thankfully, the Congress has a role in crafting ‘implementing legislation’ to make sure the deal benefits and protects middle-class families and working people, and isn’t simply a rebranding of the same old policies that hurt our economy and workers for years,” he said.

Republicans are also looking for changes to the deal, such as eliminating a 16-year sunset provision that they argue will contribute to uncertainty in the business community. They would also like to limit the president’s ability under the deal to impose steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada and Mexico for national security reasons, arguing they are close allies and don’t pose a security threat.

If Congress fails to implement the new deal with Canada and Mexico, known as USMCA, NAFTA would remain in place although Trump could threaten to withdraw from it unilaterally.

Senate aides did not immediately respond to questions Friday morning about whether Congress has received the final accord. Lawmakers said they did not have it as of Thursday.

Senate Republicans applauded the signing of the new deal as an important step to preserving relationships with the nation’s two biggest trading partners.

“Now that the ink is dry, I look forward to reviewing the agreement to ensure it’s good for Texas and preserves the millions of jobs that already rely on NAFTA.

“In the coming months, Congress will have the opportunity to debate the details of USMCA and consider how it will impact workers and job creators in this country,” he said. “I encourage my colleagues to take the time to carefully review the agreement and engage in a meaningful dialogue with the administration as intended by Trade Promotion Authority.”

The Business Roundtable indicated in statement Friday that major U.S. companies are willing to work with Democrats over their labor and environmental concerns.

“We look forward to addressing any issues and then working with the Administration – along with Democrats and Republicans in Congress – to move USMCA across the finish line,” the group said.
