United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Implementation Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. BAIRD. Madam Speaker, for several months now, I have been very vocal about the importance of passing the USMCA for Indiana. I have heard from constituents about their desire to get this deal done. I have also encouraged my colleagues to push for a vote.

So I applaud the leadership to get this historic deal accomplished. Today's passage of USMCA will give businesses and farmers across our district increased opportunity to grow.

In 2018, our State exported more than $18 billion to Mexico and Canada. Under USMCA, that number will rise.

This trade deal is a big win for our automotive industry and agricultural community and for the protection of our intellectual property. With this improved trade agreement, we will see better market access and job growth here at home.

I am proud to support the passage of USMCA and look forward to supporting more victories for the U.S. economy.
