Rep. Doggett on Today's NAFTA News

Washington, D.C. — U.S. Congressman Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), a senior member of the Trade Subcommittee of Ways & Means and the sole Texas Democrat, released the below statement regarding the today's trade developments:

"In typical Trump fashion, amidst ever more insults, the Administration spins a nonagreement into an agreement. Lacking Mexican and Canadian accord, he provides us no specific language, only boasts about what a great deal he has achieved. Though Trump may be satisfied to claim victory by changing NAFTA's name, many of us are committed to genuine reform to ensure health and safety measures are not undermined by foreign interests and that environmental and labor standard provisions are strengthened. It will take bipartisan support to secure Congressional approval. My goal remains a renewed NAFTA with all three countries that works for consumers, workers, and businesses while protecting our environment."
