Larsen Statement on Final USMCA

Statement

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

Rep. Rick Larsen (WA-02), co-chair of the New Democrat Coalition Trade Task Force, released the following statement on news of the final United States -- Mexico -- Canada Agreement (USMCA):

"The final USMCA reflects priorities I fought for, like strong labor and environmental standards and enforcement. I am also pleased the administration used provisions negotiated by the Obama administration to update NAFTA for digital trade and the 21st century economy.

"Washington is the most trade dependent state in the country, and a high-standards trade deal means jobs and opportunity for the women and men I represent in the Second District. I will work with my colleagues in the House to pass USMCA and deliver a win for workers and families in Washington state."
