Senate Approves New USMCA Trade Pact
Written by Sandy Williams
The Senate voted its approval of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement in a sweeping 89-10 bipartisan vote on Thursday. The trade agreement now goes to President Trump for signature. The Canadian parliament is expected to follow suit, allowing the USMCA to be implemented later this year.
The final agreement adds language addressing the internet, digital services and e-commerce development, as well as prohibiting currency manipulation.
