Letter to Donald Trump, President of USA and Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the U.S House Representative - Minnesota Congressmen Write Trump and Pelosi in Support of USMCA

Letter

Dear President Donald Trump and Speaker Nancy Pelosi,

As members of Minnesota's U.S. House delegation, we write to express our strong support for the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Passage of USMCA will increase economic growth, expand trade opportunities, and create high-wage jobs.

Enhancing trade with Canada and Mexico is especially critical to the State of Minnesota. More than 250,000 Minnesota jobs and $7.2 billion in exports underscore the value of North American trade. Fifty-one percent of Minnesota's total agriculture and agri-food exports flow to Canada and Mexico. In addition to agriculture, the machinery, manufacturing, medical, and mining industries account for the vast majority of Minnesota's North American exports.

We are confident that passage and implementation of USMCA will deliver opportunity and certainty to Minnesota's farmers, manufacturers, labor force, and consumers.

Mr. President, we encourage your administration to formally submit USMCA to Congress as soon as possible. Speaker Pelosi, we seek expeditious consideration and a vote on the House floor for this important agreement.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Jim Hagedorn, Member of Congress
Tom Emmer, Member of Congress
Pete Stauber, Member of Congress
