“USMCA is a win for Illinois and today is an
important step for the economic future of our farmers,
manufacturers, and workers. Forty percent of the products we
grow and produce in Illinois go to Mexico or Canada, and this
trade pact will strengthen that vital relationship and provide
needed certainty for our producers. The new USMCA will level the
playing field for Illinois, open opportunities for American
goods and services, and increase paychecks for our workers—which
is critical for our COVID-19 recovery.
“Since the day this agreement was announced, I have been working
with my Ways and Means Committee colleagues to get to this
point. I applaud President Donald Trump and Trade Representative
Robert Lighthizer for their efforts to modernize NAFTA into the
21st-century. As this agreement takes effect, I will continue to
work with my colleagues and the Administration to ensure Mexico
and Canada live up to their commitments in USMCA.”
[Office of Congressman Darin LaHood]
