Breitbart<\/a> posted an article today about the passing of the United States-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) trade agreement.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said during a press conference Thursday that she remains skeptical about the House passing the United States-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) trade agreement this year, as Congress\u2019s lower chamber continues to focus on the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.<\/h2>\n

Speaker Pelosi cast<\/a> doubt during the presser that Congress has enough time to pass the USMCA in 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not even sure if we came to an agreement today that it would be enough time to finish [this year], but just depends on how much agreement we come to,\u201d Pelosi said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week, she said that a deal on USMCA was \u201cimminent.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m eager to get this done,\u201d the California Democrat said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The USMCA\u2019s delayed passage through the House arises as Pelosi and House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) have launched an impeachment inquiry into President Trump.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaker Pelosi and House Ways and Means chairman Richard Neal (D-MA) will meet with U.S. Trade Rep. Robert Lighthizer to discuss the Democrats\u2019 remaining concerns surrounding the USMCA.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

Pelosi\u2019s comments follow the bipartisan House Problem Solvers Caucus\u2019s\u00a0call<\/a>\u00a0for the speaker to hold a \u201ctimely vote\u201d on the USMCA. The caucus represents 48 House Republicans and Democrats.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am one of many people who believe that this delay is political–the trade agreement is a good thing for American workers, and Democrats are reluctant to give President Trump any sort of victory. It is a shame that the Democrats have chosen to put politics over the welfare of American workers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
