The result of a rare show of bipartisan and cross-border cooperation in the Trump era of global trade conflicts, the deal was inked the same day as he became the fourth US president in history to face formal impeachment. The US-Mexico-Canada Agreement was signed more than a year ago to replace NAFTA, but Democrats controlling the US House of Representatives insisted on major changes to labour and environmental enforcement before bringing it to a vote.
