BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. CRAIG. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of USMCA.

This trade agreement is a win for Minnesota's family farmers and small business owners. It protects American workers and creates certainty and new opportunity moving forward with our largest trading partners.

I have walked on farms across my district with the families who feed, clothe, and fuel this country. One thing is clear: Years of tough prices, severe weather, and trade issues have taken their toll. They need this trade agreement now.

I am proud to have worked to eliminate the handouts to Big Pharma from the original draft. My commitment is to work with this administration when it benefits our community and stand up to them when it doesn't.

This is a good deal for American farmers, workers, and businesses. I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this important trade agreement.
