North Dakota delegation rejoices after Trump signs North American trade deal
BISMARCK — The three members of North Dakota’s congressional delegation expressed gratitude to President Donald Trump after he signed the U.S-Mexico-Canada Agreement on Wednesday, Jan. 29.
If Canada ratifies the new trade deal as expected, it would replace the 25-year-old North American Free Trade Agreement.
Trump campaigned on getting rid of NAFTA and instituting an agreement more favorable to American workers and companies. The deal was originally announced in September 2018, but congressional Democrats demanded changes to the proposal. The Democratic-held House of Representatives and Republican-held Senate passed an updated version of the deal with bipartisan support at the end of last year.
