Rep. Chip Roy Statement After Voting on Passage of the Text to Ratify the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Free Trade Agreement:

"Today I voted to support passage of H.R. 5430, the bill implementing USMCA. While I would have preferred to keep NAFTA intact and negotiate some additional provisions to modernize it, I voted to support the deal to give our companies trade certainty and our country market stability. I would not have written the legislative text the same way, but it is important we strengthen our continent and bolster our capitalistic economic system to better pushback against communist China's corrupt trade practices and foreign policy malfeasance."
