MADISON – Following the U.S. House of Representatives 385 to 41 vote in favor of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC) President & CEO Kurt Bauer released the following statement:
“Passage of the USMCA by the U.S. House of Representatives signals a major win for Wisconsin manufacturers, farmers and other employers. One in four manufacturing firms in Wisconsin export goods to Canada and Mexico. More than 44,000 Wisconsinites have jobs that rely on trade with our two neighbors. WMC and our members thank Reps. Gallagher, Grothman, Kind, Moore, Sensenbrenner and Steil for voting to approve this critical trade deal, and we call on the Senate to swiftly approve it.”
