Congressman Henry Cuellar (TX-28) today released the following statement after U.S. and Mexican officials signed a three-year memorandum of understanding between the United States and Mexico on cargo trucks:

"This agreement is great news for Texas producers and an important step to more open, transparent and efficient trade between the two countries. Lower tariffs mean more jobs in the 28th District of Texas and throughout the country. This agreement will create more jobs and help increase the flow of goods and products that drive economic growth. Every day, more than $1 billion in goods move across the U.S.-Mexico border. Now, this number will be even higher. This historic and important agreement has far-reaching implications that will benefit both countries for years to come."
