Pelosi Says USMCA Trade Deal Breakthrough Could Be Imminent

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on Thursday that the House appears poised to pass the trade agreement between Canada, the United States, and Mexico, and that she hopes to pass the deal by the end of the year.

“We are moving positively in terms of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement. Again, it all comes down to enhancement—excuse me, enforcement, but enhancement, too. But enforcement,” Pelosi told reporters at her weekly press conference, which largely focused on House Democrat efforts to impeach President Donald Trump around a year before the next presidential election.

“I do believe that if we can get this to the place it needs to be, which is imminent, it can be a template for future trade agreements, a good template,” Pelosi added.

Pelosi said her party is also working on H.R. 3, which is legislation that aims to lower prescription drug costs.

She added that lawmakers would work next week on a continuing resolution, necessary to prevent another government shutdown.

Lawmakers on both sides have been consumed with the divisive impeachment inquiry, which has been staunchly opposed by the GOP but eagerly pushed by Pelosis party.

House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) opened the first open impeachment hearing on Wednesday after weeks of bringing in witnesses to give closed-door testimony.

House Democrats allege Trump abused the office of the president during a July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky by requesting he “look into” allegations of corruption by former Vice President Joe Biden and Bidens son, Hunter Biden.
