WA Suffers if Trump Abandons US-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement

Today, Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) released the following statement after President Trump said he was “not looking to renew” the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement. “The US-Mexico-Canada Agreement is critical to Washington state’s economy. We export planes, agricultural goods, equipment to Mexico and Canada, and our farmers get for 80% of their potash fertilizer from Canada. These mutually beneficial partnerships are made possible by this signature economic deal that Trump himself negotiated in his first term, and I proudly supported when Congress approved it. “While we should continue looking at how to improve it, abandoning this agreement would be incredibly irresponsible and damaging to our state. We should be using this deal to advance our global economic goals instead of letting Trump’s tariffs undermine our economy.”
