WASHINGTON/MEXICO CITY - The Trump administration, Mexico and U.S. Democrats on Monday closed in on a deal for labor-related changes to a languishing North American trade pact that may soon allow it to proceed to a vote, as the window for passage this year quickly narrows.
“We’re studying the proposal,” a senior Democratic aide told Reuters, adding that there was not yet an agreement to announce. And time is running out for a vote before year end. Lawmakers from both parties said that waiting until next year could make it more difficult to ratify, because the presidential election campaign - and perhaps impeachment proceedings against Trump - will be in full swing.
Lighthizer last week also added a new demand - that the trade deal strengthen the automotive rules origin to include steel and aluminum that is “melted and poured” in North America. Trump spoke earlier with AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka about the USMCA negotiations, a person familiar with the call said.
