From WSJopinion: Here’s why I’m not voting for the USMCA trade agreement, writes SenToomey
The week's best and worst from Kim Strassel, Jason Riley, Mary O'Grady and Dan Henninger. Image: Marco Passaro/Zuma PressCongress will likely approve President Trump’s U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, but it won’t get my vote. The USMCA’s many flaws arise from its unprecedented intent.
It is the only trade pact ever meant to diminish trade. Since Nafta’s implementation, American exports to Mexico have grown more than fivefold. But imports grew even more, widening the trade deficit. The Trump administration finds this unacceptable, even though the trade deficit is mostly meaningless. Hence USMCA has a myriad of provisions to warm the hearts of protectionists.
