Washington, D.C. – Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE) released the following statement after attending the signing of United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) today at the White House

"The signing of USMCA is a major win for the United States.

I thank the President and his team for completing the work on USMCA and look forward to pursuing more opportunities for opening markets around the world.
