United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Implementation Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MARCHANT. Madam Speaker, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement is a revolutionary trade deal that will usher in a new era of economic prosperity and growth for Americans across the country.

Texas, in particular, stands ready to thrive under this agreement. Our State exports more to Mexico than any other and is second in exports to Canada. Each year, over $135 billion worth of Texan goods are sent to our two closest trading partners, supporting over 114,000 jobs in Texas.

The reforms in the USMCA will ensure that we continue to have free and fair access to international marketplaces, keeping prices low for Americans and business booming for business and workers.

Madam Speaker, I thank the chairman and the ranking member, my good friend, for shepherding this through. Members on the other side of the aisle, I have been in legislatures for a long time, and I always believed that, on this bill, you were trying to get to ``yes'' on it. I appreciate the hours that you met, and Texas will appreciate every vote that is cast for this bill.
