A Better Deal for Hard Working People

Press Release

Today, Rep. Tom Reed announced the United States and Mexico have negotiated a new trade agreement with Mexico, pending congressional approval, to create jobs, boost economic growth and increase opportunities for hard-working people.

"NAFTA is now a thing of history," Tom said. "This proposed deal brings our trading standards with Mexico out of the dark ages and into the 21st century.

Benefits of the new NAFTA agreement with Mexico for our local farmers include:

Ensures continued market access with Mexico with zero tariffs on agricultural goods.
Improves transparency and communication in the grading of agricultural products.
Increased Mexican market access for U.S. cheeses, wine and spirits.
For manufacturers the benefits the new NAFTA agreement with Mexico include:

Incentivizes car companies to build their cars in America.
Helps preserve and re-shore vehicle and parts production in the United States.
Ensures companies are using parts from the United States that are key to future automobile production and high-paying jobs
Closes the wage gap between Mexico and the United States in the automobile and car parts production industry to ensure U.S. workers have a chance to compete.
