It was hard work, and it took way too long, but we did it: this week I helped pass the USMCA out of the Senate, sending the critical trade deal to President Trump’s desk and final ratification.
I’ve heard time and again from Iowa’s farmers, manufacturers, and business owners about the need for the USMCA. And each time, for more than a year, I would convey that message loud and clear to my colleagues in the House. Finally the Senate was given our chance to take swift action and passed this agreement with overwhelmingly bipartisan support.
BREAKING: Since day one, I've been fighting to pass a trade agreement with Iowa's two biggest trade partners, Mexico & Canada.

I joined Bloomberg TV to discuss the positive impacts of the USMCA for folks in Iowa and across the country.
There’s no doubt that this is an exciting start to the new year for our great state of #Iowa. From the phase one China agreement being finalized to the #USMCA moving through the Senate, I’m proud to work with @POTUS to deliver real results for Iowa’s farmers and manufacturers. pic.twitter.com/OrXCHS5E6C
