Congressman Kevin Cramer released the following statement after agreement was reached between the United States, Canada and Mexico on a new North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

I congratulate President Trump, Ambassador Lightizer and the entire negotiating team on this major victory for our country. This is a good day for the U.S. and a special day for North Dakota. Living next door to two Canadian Provinces, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, North Dakota feels a special bond to our neighbor and we are grateful to our President and to Canada's leaders for coming to this deal to mutually benefit our people. We owe a special debt of gratitude to our Mexican partners in this endeavor for joining us in building the foundation for this trilateral trade deal. I look forward to reviewing the text of the agreement in the near future and working with my colleagues to ensure its passage by Congress.
