Trump, Remarks On Foreign Policy At The National Press Club , Washington D.C., 4/27/16)

Candidate Trump: My Plan "Includes A Total Renegotiation Of NAFTA So Our Jobs Can Come Back." TRUMP: "My plan also includes a total renegotiation of NAFTA so our jobs can come back.

The USMCA Passed The House Despite Over A Year Of Stonewalling By Democrats And Nancy Pelosi

The United States Reached A Deal With Mexico And Canada On The USMCA On September 30, 2018. "On Sunday night, President Trump got his wish for a significantly revised North American trade deal. After more than a year of intense negotiations, the United States, Canada and Mexico reached an agreement to update the North American Free Trade Agreement, the 1994 pact that governs more than $1.2 trillion worth of trade among the three nations." ( The Washington Post , 10/1/18)

( The Wall Street Journal , 04/28/19)

In May 2019, It Was Reported Speaker Of The House Nancy Pelosi Had Privately Said She Could Get The Trade Deal Approved But Was Determined To Prolong Debate Regarding The Bill's Provisions. "Ms. Pelosi has said privately that she is convinced the agreement can be approved - 'I can get to yes' she told a supportive lawmaker last week - even if that would hand Mr. Trump with a much-needed domestic policy achievement ahead of his re-election campaign. But the president's slight, in that it was a factor at all, only reinforced Ms. Pelosi's resolve to extract significant revisions to the accord as a precondition of holding a floor vote, and those changes could require a renegotiation of the updated North American Free Trade Agreement, which the three countries agreed to last year." ( The New York Times , 05/29/19)

In December 2019, Prominent Progressive Voices Were Even "Dismayed Nancy Pelosi And Her Caucus" Handed President Trump A Win By Finally Agreeing To The USMCA.
