Republicans back Trump’s USMCA punt
Key congressional Republicans support the Trump administration's potential decision to let the USMCA trade deal with Canada and Mexico lapse rather than renew it immediately. President Trump has criticized the existing agreement, and trade representatives are expected to continue negotiations for changes instead of extending the deal for 16 years. Rep. Adrian Smith, a Republican trade panel chair, stated discussions are warranted to achieve a stronger USMCA.
