Congressman Ron Estes (R-Kansas), a Member of the Ways and Means Committee and USMCA leadership whip team, voted in favor of approving the implementing legislation for the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) today. Rep. Estes has championed the trade deal since it was announced by President Trump last year.
"As I have said for more than a year, passing the USMCA is great news for Kansas and our country," said Rep. Estes. "The journey to this day has been longer and harder than it should have been. For too long, the USMCA took a back seat to partisan politics, causing farmers, ranchers, and workers to miss out on economic growth and jobs in the meantime. However today, we take a giant step forward to finally make this free and fair trade deal a reality. I thank President Trump and Ambassador Lighthizer for their leadership to follow through on another campaign promise and negotiate a critical deal for all Americans."
