Today, the Trump Administration and House Democrats reached a handshake deal on the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). As you know, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has been an avid advocate for passing the agreement, and this morning, CEO Tom Donohue issued the following statement in response to the news:

"The U.S. Chamber welcomes the news that the Trump Administration and House Democrats have reached agreement on a path forward for USMCA. We thank U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal, and members of the House Democrats’ Working Group for their leadership and hard work. We are optimistic this development will open the door to final approval of USMCA on a bipartisan basis by the end of the year, which will especially benefit American farmers, manufacturers, and small businesses. We look forward to reviewing the details of the deal with our members and assessing their impact.”
