Trump weighs quitting USMCA as tariffs face House rebuke

President Trump is said to be considering exiting the North American trade pact, according to a report in Bloomberg.

Trump has asked his administration why he shouldn't withdraw from the agreement, which he signed during his first term in office. The development raises further questions about the deal's future and negotiations involving the US, Mexico, and Canada.

Meanwhile, the US House of Representatives will vote on Wednesday on whether to reject some of Trump's tariffs, after a last-ditch effort from House Speaker Mike Johnson failed to block them. The vote comes months ahead of the midterm elections — at a time when many Americans are concerned about the rising cost of living. Votes will start with a resolution to stop Trump's tariffs on Canada.

Meanwhile, there is confusion over the trade deal between the US and India after the White House adjusted language around agricultural goods.

This is HIS deal.
This is HIS deal.
This is HIS deal.

Remind any sycophants who justify this move by criticizing the USMCA that this was HIS deal.

And he isn't capable of a better one. If he was, he would have gotten it in 2018-2020 when the USMCA was crafted. This was the best he could do, there is no reason to believe he is capable of any better, especially not now that the US is weaker and trade partners have many years of experience seeking new trade partners BECAUSE OF HIS TARIFFS/TRADE WARS.
