Neal was a key architect of USMCA, which Trump called “the best and most important trade deal ever made by the USA”
SPRINGFIELD, MA—Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released the following statement after Trump called off trade discussions with Canada over a recent advertisement from Ontario:
“President Trump’s decision to walk away from trade talks with one of our closest allies over an ad quoting President Reagan’s own words is petty and dangerous for the American people. The quote is real, and rather than throw a fit, the President might reflect on what he’s done to necessitate this wake-up call from Canada. Our strength has always come from partnership, not petulance.
“We cannot afford to turn our backs on the North American alliance, especially as we enter the colder months, with many families in New England already facing higher energy costs. Now is the time to channel President Reagan, do the patriotic thing, and end Trump’s Trade War.”
