Marshall Celebrates Passage of Historic Trade Agreement

Statement

The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday voted to ratify President Trump's new United States, Mexico, Canada (USMCA) trade agreement providing necessary updates and improvements to the 25-year-old North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). For the past two years, U.S. Congressman Roger Marshall, M.D. has been a leader in the writing and passage of this trade agreement and today celebrates the victory this vote represents for farmers, small business owners and manufacturers. This agreement will create thousands of jobs in Kansas.

"Today I delivered on my number one legislative priority and voted to ratify President Trump's United State Mexico Canada trade agreement," said Rep. Marshall. "This deal delivers hundreds of millions of dollars in market opportunities for Kansas agriculture goods, streamlined supply chains for our small businesses, and thousands of new jobs for hard working Kansans. This deal has been far too long in the making but I look forward to President Trump signing this agreement so he can deliver on his huge promise to the American people. I want to thank all of the agriculture organizations, trade associations and other industry groups who championed this effort and provided constant support throughout this endeavor."
