this is characterized as the nafta 2 or the new draft grade between the united states, canada, and mexico. as he noted, trade among our three countries is critically important to all of us and certainly to the american economy and to my home state of illinois. our trade with mexico and canada eclipses all the other trade around the world and is important especially to our agricultural sector. just last weekend, in my hometown of springfield, illinois, i held an historic press conference. i brought together the president of the illinois stayed afl-cio, tim dray, of christian county in central illinois, and dick gephardt, who is the president of the illinois farm bureau, both of whom, through their organizations, support the usmca trade agreement that is about to come before congress. there were a lot of smiles and laughter in the room as these two friends of mine noted that it's the very first time they have ever come together at a press conference -- organized labor and the farmers of the state of illinois. they both agree that this usmca trade agreement is a step forward, an improvement

zach: before the senate, just before the trial began, there was a vote to pass the usmca, the united states mexico canada agreement. was there any talk about delaying that, seeing as this was a major priority for the white house, especially on the eve of an impeachment trial? sen. cardin: no, not at all. i think you look at the final vote, it was somewhere overwhelming, about 90% of the senate voted in favor of the new usmca, united states mexico canadian agreement. the president was going to sign it. it's time to move on with this. this is a major improvement over the old north america free trade agreement, nafta. from the people in maryland, it's important. it opens up our poultry industry to much more business to canada and mexico. it's good for small businesses. it's good for government, labor, environment. i'm glad we were able to move that forward. host: you were in the house during the bill clinton impeachment back in 1998. democrats saying this is a political witch hunt. now republicans are saying the same thing against the democrats. as somebody who's been through this process twice, do y

. >> now, the farmers for free trade statement say we were told mexico would make massive ago purchases from the united states and that the eu would make huge as much as of u.s. ago products. neither of those promises were fulfilled. now we're being told that china will double the level of historic purchases. needless to say there is a healthy skepticism about whether american farmers will actually see these purchases. farmers were told that trade wars were good and easy to win. they were told that they've had to accept short-term pain for long-term gain. pain has been long-term and we have yet to see the gain. when will they see the gain? >> through our policies we've had some adjustment mechanisms that have assisted farmers through this difficult period and that's been helpful. >> where is chad? i want to congratulate him on his promotion. >> we'll tell him for you. >> tell him i congratulate him. he gets promoted and he stops coming. what's up with that? where's the love? i don't see it. all right, today we had a conference and republicans in the house and across the country received some very good news fr

with the passage of the united states-mexico-canada agreement by what will be an overwhelming margin here in the united states senate, america's economy will continue to thrive and drive prosperity for hardworking american farmers, workers, and taxpayers all across our economy. you've heard the old saying, a rising tide lifts all boats. the new nafta bill that we're working on puts a bigger oar in the water for our trilateral trade relationship with our northern and southern neighbors. it's important to point out that we wouldn't be here without the bold leadership and the determination of president trump. the president is doing exactly what he said he would do. so many people running for president run on a platform, but they don't stand on that platform. he ran on a platform of doing something about what he considered bad trade agreements. and, of course, he is standing on that platform. undaunted by those who set to throw him out of office since day one, president trump forged ahead for the good of the american people. he forged ahead to update and improve nafta for americans. we he

america is not possible without a strong rural economy, and thanks to the passionage of the united states-mexico-canada trade agreement and a soon-to-be signed agreement with china, new market opportunities for agriculture exports are on the horizon. new markets are the key to economic growth and stability for our farm families. stability also means having reliable safety net programs in place when times are particularly tough and when the weather is threatening to -- our ability to feed ourselves. over the years technology has advanced and the economy has diversified. in keeping up with the demands of a new era it is necessary to compete in the modern marketplace. with connectivity, broadband, and specifically 5-g rural businesses will be better equipped to compete. connectivity also expands opportunities for the next generation in rural america, helping signal to younger people that rural america is a great place to call home, to start a business, and to raise a family. after spending several days at the pennsylvania farm show, i'm increasingly confident of the future of rural america is bright. than

last week, the united states concluded to extraordinary trade deals. the agreement with china and the united states-mexico-canada agreement, the two biggest trade deals ever made just happened to get done in the same week. these agreements represent a new model of trade for the 21st century agreements that are fair, reciprocal, and that prioritize the needs of workers and families. america's economic turnaround has been nothing short of spectacular. when i took office three years ago, america's economy was in a dismal state. under the previous administration, 200,000 manufacturing jobs had vanished. wages were flat or falling. almost 5 million more americans have left the labor force then had gotten jobs, and 10 million people have been added to the food stamp rolls. the experts predicted a decade of very slow growth or even negative growth, high unemployment, and a dwindling workforce. shrinking middle class. millions of hard-working ordinary citizens felt neglected, the trade, forgotten. ayed, forgotten. they were rapidly losing faith in the system. before my presidency, the outlook for many nations was

in order reflected in its very name, canada is last in nine to ratify the united states, mexico, canada agreement, which updates the 25-year-old deal known as nafta. the deal cannot take effect until 90 days after the last party signs, and the deputy prime minister who led canada's negotiating team is urging her country's parliament to approve the deal without undue delay. u.s. president donald trump, who made replacing nafta a key campaign promise, is facing a reelection bid, and is eager to celebrate the accomplishment. pres. trump: we will replace the nafta nightmare, one of the worst trade deals ever in history, with the incredible canadaew u.s.-mexico agreement, the usmca. members of canada's main opposition conservative party say they have reservations. one conservative lawmaker tweeting the lids do not yet seem to realizeze the realititif the new minority parliament, and are mistaken if they believe wee will rubberstatamp the deal. citingng concerns abouout the it on canada's forestry and aluminum industries, lawmakers could slow down the ratifying process by calling witnesses. t

as 2020 begins, i'm focused on passing the united states-mexico-canada trade agreement. i'm leading a meeting of the finance committee tomorrow to report out the bill so the senate floor can have a vote as eminent as possible. i'm continuing to work in a bipartisan way to lower the cost of prescription drugs with the grassley-wyden prescription drug-pricing reduction act. in the coming weeks, i will begin my 40th annual 99-county tour of my state to continue to hear what's on the minds of iowans so i can better serve them in the united states senate. i look forward to remaining in touch with iowans as the new decade begins. i yield the floor and suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: quorum call: mr. mcconnell: mr. president. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. mcconnell: i ask unanimous consent that further proceedings under the quorum call be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. mcconnell: as the senate convenes this afternoon, we find our nation facing two grave and seriou

the united states-mexico-canada agreement that would hopefully bring them some relief. thanks to low commodity prices and livestock prices, natural disasters, and protracted trade disputes, farmers and ranchers in my state of south dakota and around the country had a tough few years. when i talk to farmers and ranchers at home in south dakota, they continue to emphasize the most important thing that washington can do to boost our agricultural economy is to take action on trade agreements. to expand markets. farmers and ranchers need access to new and expanded markets for their products. and they need certainty about what international markets are going to look like in the future. u. usmca will help meet those needs. it will preserve and expand farmers' access to two critical export markets and it will give farmers certainty about what those markets will look like long-term. i am particularly pleased with the improvements the agreement makes for u.s. dairy products. south dakota has experienced a major dairy expansion over the past few years and this agreement will benefi

cardin: shortly we will be considering the united states-mexico-canada, -- united states-mexico-canada agreement, the usmca. it replaces nafta. i supported the usmca and supported it earlier this week where it passed the senate finance committee on a strong 25-3 vote. this strong vote was possible because of the hard work of democrats in the house and senate to make this agreement the strongest fully enforceable pro-environment, pro-labor trade agreement the united states has ever entered into. first, let me talk about why i think trade is important. madam president, i would point out to my colleagues that the maiden speech that i gave in the house of representatives when i was first elected was on trade and the importance of trade agreement. i recognized how important the port of baltimore was to our economy and how important free trade and trade was to the port of baltimore. so clearly trade agreements are critically important to the people of maryland and it's important to people of this country. first, international trade can lead to better economic outcomes. leveling the playing f
