Peso Pops As AFL-CIO’s Trumka Says USMCA Deal Done

After what AMLO called “a friendly nudge” this morning with regard mixing the progress of the USMCA Deal and the farcical impeachment process; AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka has told WaPo that there is a deal.

Trump announced the U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement (USMCA) more than a year ago, but negotiations with House Democrats have been lengthy as leaders pushed for stronger labor and environmental regulations.

“We have pushed them hard and have done quite well,” Trumka said in an email to the Washington Post.

Of course, agreeing the NAFTA 2.0 deal would be a win for Trump but also for Democrats as they can claim that impeachment has not taken all the air out of the legislative room.
