those talks produced the usmca agreement or usmca -- united states-mexico-canada agreement or the usmca which the president unveiled more than a year ago. when nafta was written, more than a quarter of a century ago, the internet was in its infancy and few could have foreseen the increasingly globalized and digital economy we have today. usmca takes us into the 21st century updating antiquated rules to prohibit the theft of trade secrets, reward american innovators, and improve cross-border e commerce while also providing increased market access for american businesses and benefits for american workers and more traditional sectors like agriculture and manufacturing. market access is very important to agriculture and to our nation's economy in general. 95% of the world's population lives outside these united states. without good trade agreements that gives us free access to the world's marketplace, we cannot prosper an agriculture or any other business that depends on exports. the usmca will result in a fairer deal for u.s. businessmen and consumers. today the american people should ask

in fact, the country of mexico has already ratified the usmca. the country of canada is waiting for the united states to take the next step so they, too, can ratify this very important trade agreement. you know, this agreement between the three countries of the north american continent is estimated to add $68.2 -- imagine, $68.2 billion, almost hard to say, $68.2 billion to the u.s. economy and create 176,000 new jobs. the usmca would also increase exports to canada by 5.9% to a total of $19.1 billion. and shipments to mexico by 6.7% or $14.2 billion. imports from canada and mexico would rise by 4.8% and 3.8% respectively. but it seems that democrats in the house where the ratification process has to begin under the trade promotion authority that this deal was struck under. the democrats leading the house seem to be more focused on taking away one person's job than creating 176,000 new ones right here in the united states. and it is time for speaker pelosi to act on something that is nearly unanimously agreed to. and while not every person agrees

america and arizona stand to benefit from passage of the usmca. but we're not doing the usmca because our speaker will not put it on the floor for a vote. i ask the democrats to put their constituents ahead of partisan olitics and consider the usmca immediately. i join my friend and rules committee colleague in urging members to vote no on the rule and no on the previous question so that we can prioritize what's really important to america, and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady yields back the balance of her time. the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from colorado is recognized. mr. perlmutter: i yield myself so much time as i may consume. to my friends, mrs. lesko, mr. woodall, from the rules committee, i first remind my friend from arizona that we are actually working on legislation that is bipartisan in nature and something that is tremendously serious, that has to be addressed. and again, i'd quote from the cnbc article of october 17, where we talked about these two and s of r

yes on the time -- usmca. at the same time dealing syria.e issues in >> yeah. i rejected the false choice that e have to choose between our oversight obligations and protecting national security and moving forward on things like drugs.iption the constitution envisions a congress that can and must do all of those things. that's what we're doing. we're going to exercise our oversight responsibility, maintain the checks and balances. we will address national security threats as they arise and we're going to move forward thate kitchen table issues america needs us to move forward on. when i got back from i trip to the middle east, had a town hall on afghanistan in the district, and i tell you, it was a packed room. there are very concerned what's happening on the national security front. in the last two weeks, the issue i got questions about from people in the district was about their oncerns what happened with syria and turkey. i think they see this as an global of where american leadership is right now. they see it in the example of the recklessness of this polic

i do think the usmca will pass. i think there are incentives on both sides.een, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer are very -- signals very positive things for usmca. we had members on the democratic side talk to mexico recently to talk about labor provision enforcement in that country. all the while, you see the afl-cio come out and say this would not be good if the usmca passed before thanksgiving. the fact of the matter is, i think everyone is looking to see a deal happen. democrats will be concerned about the afl-cio in the unions. i think as long as there is an oppositional part of those groups, you will see this past. are a lot of economic proposals on the democrat side. some of which affect your business and wall street. everything from a wealth tax to financial transactions taxes. we have elizabeth warren calling private equity bad names. what do you think that could affect wall street and new york if we get a democratic candidate ? rep. cantor: i have to agree with what president trump has said. it would be catastrophic if there is an elizabeth warren pr

there has to be a concern for things like usmca that don't get things a concern for like that usmca doesn't get done. anne: whether it comes from unknown outcome in the trade war, what has to be distracting to policymakers in every arm of government, that kind of uncertainty i think has to feed through into the way people are making broader decisions. guy: just want to check the dxy, giving back a little bit of ground right now. how big a problem is the dollar going to be for u.s. companies as we go through this next reporting season? it is strong. anne: and again, when we think finally, i wanted to show you oil. oil did not like the headlines that suggest the global economy is not doing so well. it's elegant as we got those headlines today, now on the longest losing streak since november of last year. vonnie: thank you. house democrats ramping up their impeachment in cory f president donald trump. volkerukraine envoy kurt formpeachment inquiry president donald trump. former ukraine envoy kurt volker will testify today. in market selloff won't help things, but what about the rest of the rep
