Speaking on the importance of the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement in a U.S. Senate Finance Hearing. Click HERE to watch.
Tuesday marked a very important step for Montana’s farmers, ranchers, and small businesses.
I voted to advance an important trade deal between the United States, Mexico and Canada out of the U.S. Senate Finance Committee, with strong bipartisan support, bringing us one step closer to providing more certainty and better access to markets for Montana ag and small businesses in those critical markets.
I am thankful to President Trump for fighting for better trade deals that puts Montana farmers and ranchers first. I stand by the President as we work to get this deal across the finish line in Congress.
The U.S.-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement (USMCA) will have a big impact on Montana and rural communities across our country.
USMCA’s Impact:
- USMCA is expected to create over 180,000 new American jobs
- USMCA is forecasted to boost our nation’s GDP by $70 Billion
- In 2018 alone, Montana had $731 million dollars in total exports to Canada and Mexico
USMCA Will Also:
- Protect critical market access for Montana farmers, ranchers, and businesses
- Help level the playing field for Montana’s grain growers in Canada
- Modernize the agreement for digital trade
