An objection by Mexico won’t stop the U.S. House from approving the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Mexico had promised reciprocal measures regarding labor enforcement inspections, however Mexico has now withdrawn the objection. Mexico previously approved the agreement this summer, and even approved the modified agreement last week, before announcing the concerns.
An official from Mexico is in Washington, D.C., this week to talk with lawmakers. President Donald Trump implementing legislation for USMCA to the House late last week, and the chamber still plans to vote and approve the agreement this week. A vote on the articles of impeachment looks to be coming Wednesday, setting up a vote on USMCA Thursday, in the House.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Senate will not consider USMCA until January, or later, following impeachment hearings.
