WASHINGTON: The Democratic head of the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee on Friday called for"good faith" negotiations with the Trump administration to address concerns about the new U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement and pave the way for its passage.
"We have laid out clear and specific objectives and proposals designed to fix flaws in the new agreement affecting all stakeholders, especially American workers and regular people who need affordable access to healthcare and medicines," the report said."It is now USTR's turn to respond." "It has been a productive three months," Blumenauer said. But he said Pelosi had made clear that she would not allow consideration of the agreement on the House floor until Democrats were satisfied with the revised deal.
Leaders from the United States, Mexico and Canada signed the agreement in November, but it must be ratified by lawmakers in all three countries. Mexico has already ratified the deal. The congressman said he returned from a bipartisan congressional visit to Mexico"very impressed" by the Mexican government and its ambitions, adding:"It is clear that it is sincere."
