Tai Testifies
On Thursday, U.S. Trade Representative-nominee Katherine Tai told the Senate Finance Committee that, if confirmed, a top priority will be implementing and enforcing the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
“For the enforcement side on the USMCA I talked about in my opening statement. It’s about caring and nurturing the agreements we have to make sure they deliver on the promises that have been made,” said Tai. “That also goes for the other trade agreements we have under our belt. I want to make clear that’s a priority and the phase one deal with China.”
