Today, Congressman Rick W. Allen (GA-12) spoke on the House floor in support of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and urged Speaker Pelosi and his Democratic colleagues to bring it to the floor for a vote. Congressman Allen’s remarks can be found below.

Every day that Speaker Pelosi delays a vote on the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, American workers and their families are hurt.

Right now, farmers, ranchers and businesses in Georgia and across the country face unnecessary uncertainty.

This trade deal is vital to our economy, and passing USMCA would be a huge win for the American people.

Canada and Mexico both serve as top markets for a number of our U.S. agricultural products.

In Georgia, 22,558 jobs depend on manufacturing exports to Canada and Mexico.

Passing this trade agreement would also strengthen our already vibrant economy.

The USMCA can add another 176,000 new jobs and add $68.2 billion to GDP growth.

Let’s ensure free and fair trade, while granting our farmers, ranchers and manufacturers the protections they deserve.

I urge my Democratic colleagues to end the partisan politics and pass the USMCA—or at the very least, put the bill on the House Floor for a vote!
