Kelly Supports USMCA

Statement

Date: Dec. 19, 2019
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Trade

Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), legislation that will modernize the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) for the first time in 24 years and create new economic opportunities in Mississippi and across America.

Currently, Mississippi's economy benefits from the $3.2 billion in exports to Canada and Mexico and will continue to expand with freer markets and fairer trade practices. The USMCA will bring North American trade practices into the 21st Century and allow American industries to be more competitive in the global marketplace.

"The USMCA is a win for America's workers, farmers, and manufacturers," Rep. Kelly said. "Free and fair trade in North America is essential to ensuring economic prosperity throughout our Nation."
