Q&A: What would USMCA trade deal mean for Oregon?

The full U.S. Senate could soon vote on the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, the Trump administration's new version of NAFTA. The House of Representatives passed the trade deal with a 385 to 41 vote count in December, and the Senate Finance Committee advanced the bill last week.

(Early in the process) there was a nine-member group from the House of Representatives that actually came in and negotiated with the administration to look at those environmental standards, labor standards. Representative Blumenauer and Suzanne Bonamici were on that nine-member panel which is really amazing because Oregon really is pretty small.
