Big Step Forward for Montana Farmers
and Ranchers
Speaking on the importance of the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement in a U.S.
Senate Finance Hearing. Click HERE to
watch.
Tuesday marked a very
important step for Montana's farmers, ranchers, and small
businesses.
I voted to
advance an important trade deal between the United States, Mexico
and Canada out of the U.S. Senate Finance Committee, with strong
bipartisan support, bringing us one step closer to providing
more certainty and better access to markets for Montana ag and small
businesses in those critical markets.
I am thankful to President Trump for fighting for better
trade deals that puts Montana farmers and ranchers first. I stand by the
President as we work to get this deal across the finish line in
Congress.
The
U.S.-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement (USMCA) will have a big
impact on Montana and rural communities across our country.
USMCA’s Impact:
-
USMCA is expected to create over 180,000 new American
jobs
- USMCA is forecasted to boost our nation’s GDP by $70
Billion
- In 2018 alone, Montana had $731 million dollars in total exports to
Canada and Mexico
USMCA Will Also:
-
Protect critical market access for Montana farmers,
ranchers, and businesses
- Help level the
playing field for Montana's grain growers in Canada
- Modernize the agreement for digital
trade
