The USMCA Faces an Intricate Political Path

A report coming this week on the economic effects of the new U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, could set congressional consideration of the USMCA in motion this spring. On this episode of "Suspending the Rules" from Bloomberg Government, legislative analyst Sarah Babbage highlights Democrats' critiques of the deal and its path forward in the three trading partners' legislatures. Once the Trump administration submits the deal to Congress, it will be considered under expedited fast-track procedures with no opportunity for amendments. Before House Democrats consider it, they're calling for changes to the deal's labor and environment enforcement, pharmaceutical protections, and more.  Contact the BGOV podcast team at BGOVpodcast@bgov.com. Hosts: Adam M.
