On the same day Democrats announced articles of impeachment against President Trump, Nancy Pelosi has announced Democrats have finally agreed to the USMCA trade deal that will replace NAFTA.
Pelosi tweeted “With the transformative changes we won, Democrats have achieved a #USMCA agreement that is infinitely better for American workers than what was originally proposed by the Trump Administration.”

GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel wrote:
Is the timing of Pelosi’s change of heart on #USMCA fooling anyone?
House Democrats have spent months blindly opposing it.
While we appreciate their support, it shouldn’t take impeachment backfiring for them to join @realDonaldTrump in putting #AmericaFirst!

GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy has issued a statement and added:
The US-Mexico-Canada Agreement is a win for the American worker and has been since the day President Trump signed it over a year ago.
Dems delayed #USMCA for too long. But finally—after months of relentless advocacy from Republicans—we’re one step closer.
