The US President Trump wrote in a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer that lawmakers should pass the United States-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) trade agreement before taking up any infrastructure bill.
Trump said: “Before we get to infrastructure, it is my strong view that Congress should first pass the important and popular USMCA trade deal. … Once Congress has passed USMCA, we should turn our attention to a bipartisan infrastructure package.”
