Pelosi, Neal and Lighthizer do not reach a deal on Trump USCMA agreement
House Democrats and the Trump administration did not come to a deal on moving forward with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement during a meeting Thursday.
Earlier, Pelosi questioned whether Democrats could ratify the agreement this year even if they reached an agreement with the Trump administration Thursday. Lawmakers and the White House have worked for weeks to resolve Democratic concerns about enforcement tools for labor and environmental standards under the deal, known as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Leaving a meeting with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal said the sides made progress but did not strike a final agreement, his office confirmed.
Pelosi and Neal's meeting with Trump's trade representative follows talks with a key labor leader earlier this week. Following a Tuesday meeting with AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, Pelosi said "we can reach an agreement on USMCA when the Trade Representative makes the new NAFTA agreement enforceable for America's workers."
