There are only eight legislative days left in the calendar year, and House leadership has still not addressed many issues hardworking people face every day. Among those issues is passage of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, a trade agreement that President Trump and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer successfully negotiated with Mexico and Canada one year ago this week.

It is unfortunate that Speaker Nancy Pelosi has led us to believe in the last weeks that the USMCA would be brought to the House for a vote, adding that House Democrats were on a “path to yes” and that action on the USMCA was “imminent.” Saying that she now believes there is not enough time in the year to bring the agreement to a vote is quite the statement, especially after how, under her leadership, the House of Representatives spent nearly 30 legislative days on their quest to impeach a duly elected president.
