United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement

The United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement, commonly referred to as USMCA, negotiated by President Trump, is a new trade agreement which is intended to replace NAFTA. The USMCA includes new protections for intellectual property and for farmers.

The deal has been praised by The Gateway Pundit,[1][2][3] but The New American, another conservative publication, has called it a globalist deal worse than NAFTA which will result in the formation of a "North American Union" similar to the European Union in Europe.[4][5][6] Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador -- under whose administration Mexico signed the final version of the treaty -- has also voiced concerns about the effects of the treaty on national sovereignty; he has used these concerns to justify his refusal to privatize parts of Mexico's energy sector, which has led to American Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accusing him of violating the treaty.[7]

RINOs have criticized the USMCA for their separate reasons,[8][9] along with leftists.[10][11][12] But even some on the left have praised the deal,[13][14][15] and Mexico's left-wing populist President has urged Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats to pass the deal,[16] which they did in December 2019.[17]
