House passes USMCA trade deal in key step toward ratification
Washington - US lawmakers in the House of Representatives on Thursday approved a new continental trade agreement with Canada and Mexico, a victory for President Donald Trump even as he faces impeachment.
Though the free trade pact was signed in 2018, House Democrats had held up the treaty's ratification for a year, demanding greater assurances that Mexico could be held to its commitments to labor reforms demanded by the treaty.
US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said the agreement should result in billions more in investments in the auto sector and purchases of parts.
