Rep. Jeff Duncan's Statement on USMCA Deal

Statement

Date: Dec. 10, 2019
Location: Washington D.C.
Issues: Trade

Congressman Jeff Duncan (SC-03) released the following statement on the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) deal:

"President Trump has delivered a huge win for the United States! He and his administration have worked tirelessly to yield 21st century deals that modernize our trade relationships and put our nation and our workers first. But let's be clear -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi's announcement today and her party taking credit for USMCA advancement shouldn't fool anyone. She purposely held the deal hostage for over a year as leverage to advance her wildly unpopular plan to impeach a duly elected President in order to appease the radical, left-wing base. She put politics above a win for the country, and it never should have taken this long for consideration.

"So, who really secured this America first victory for the United States? President Donald J. Trump. Promise made, promise kept."
