Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) released the following statement after the United States, Mexico, and Canada announced that an agreement has been reached on the new U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Rep. Newhouse will attend the announcement today when President Trump delivers remarks at the White House Rose Garden at 11:00 a.m. ET. WATCH LIVE HERE.

"The U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement is outstanding news for America's farmers, ranchers and manufacturers," said Rep. Newhouse. "Under this deal, Central Washington wheat farmers gain fair treatment, and dairy producers gain greater access to the Canadian market. American workers needed a level playing field, and President Trump kept his promise to renegotiate NAFTA with that goal. I applaud the work of President Trump and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer in successfully pushing to modernize the trilateral agreement with our closest trading partners."
