U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer on Tuesday said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been "constructive" in talks to address her concerns about the U.S.-Canada-Mexico Agreement. Testifying before the Senate Finance Committee, the U.S. trade chief said the California Democrat has been "completely fair and above board" in discussions with the administration.
Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said last week the deal to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement has a "better than two-thirds chance" of passing Congress this year. But Pelosi has signaled she won't allow a vote on the USMCA without changes including easier enforcement of new rules to strengthen labor rights. "I hope over the next couple of weeks we can make substantial progress," Lighthizer said.
