Rep. Rick Larsen (WA-02), co-chair of the New Democrat Coalition Trade Task Force, released the following statement on news of the final United States – Mexico – Canada Agreement (USMCA):

“The final USMCA reflects priorities I fought for, like strong labor and environmental standards and enforcement. I am also pleased the administration used provisions negotiated by the Obama administration to update NAFTA for digital trade and the 21^st century economy.

“Washington is the most trade dependent state in the country, and a high-standards trade deal means jobs and opportunity for the women and men I represent in the Second District. I will work with my colleagues in the House to pass USMCA and deliver a win for workers and families in Washington state.”
