Today,
with my support, the House of Representatives voted to pass the United
States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA). I have long believed that trade is
vital to the Central Valley’s economic health. With its passage, USMCA will
generate over $68 billion in economic activity and produce 176,000 new jobs for
American workers. Moreover, agricultural products that had zero tariffs under
NAFTA will continue to be tariff free, while American dairy farmers will now
have access to previously unopened Canadian markets. Modernized for the 21st
century, USMCA will deliver tremendous economic benefits to the Central Valley.
