Former Iowa Gov. Vilsack to Congress: Ratify USMCA, help farmers
Cedar Rapids Gazette: Two-term former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack said Monday it is critical that Congress ratify the proposed United States-Mexico-Canada, or USMCA, trade pact to protect farmers’ jobs and the resulting exports. U.S. lawmakers also could use momentum from ratifying USMCA to reach new agreements with China, Japan and other key trading partners, Vilsack said at roundtable events with Iowa agriculture and business representatives in Urbandale and in Cedar Rapids.
