Congress Needs to Back America’s Workers and Approve Trump’s Trade Deal


“In 1993, very few Americans had a cellphone, and no one had ever heard of buying a book on Amazon”—and yet that year marked “the last time Congress meaningfully debated trade between our two North American partners,” Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) writes in The Daily Caller.

That is why President Donald J. Trump recently renegotiated NAFTA, a trade agreement that’s woefully out of date. “House Democrats have spent decades fundraising against NAFTA,” Sen. Braun writes. Now “they have an opportunity to replace it with a better agreement — one that includes a minimum wage for Mexican auto workers and provisions to protect American jobs from unfairly traded Chinese products.”

“President Trump on Wednesday joined other world leaders and the royal family in a ceremony in Portsmouth, England, to commemorate the upcoming 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion,” Brett Samuels reports in The Hill. “Hundreds of people -- including military officials and World War II veterans -- gathered at an amphitheater just across the English Channel from where the Allied invasion took place on June 6, 1944. Trump took the stage to read an excerpt from a prayer that then-President Franklin Roosevelt delivered to the nation on the radio on the eve of the invasion.”
“President Trump and first lady Melania Trump hosted a dinner for Prince Charles and Duchess of Cornwall Camilla Parker Bowles on Tuesday night at Winfield House, a mansion in London which is the official residence of the United States ambassador to the United Kingdom,” Talia Kaplan reports for Fox News. “Earlier Tuesday, Trump and the first lady toured the Churchill War Rooms with the prime minister and her husband. British leaders used the bunkers to plot strategy during World War II.”
“The new tariffs on Mexico announced by President Trump are a win for the United States,” former Gov. Jan Brewer (R-AZ) writes in The Hill. “Mexico has the ability to significantly alleviate the humanitarian and national security crisis on the southern border by strictly enforcing its own strong immigration laws to prevent ‘caravans’ of illegal immigrants from traversing its territory on their way to the United States. With Democrats obstructing his every move to limit the flow of crime and drugs over our border, President Trump is taking every measure to address the crisis on his own, hopefully resulting in Mexico becoming a part of the solution.”
