ICYMI: Tuberville in The Washington Times: USTR’s last-minute effort to neuter Trump’s USMCA

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) joined U.S. Senators Katie Britt (R-AL) and Bill Hagerty (R-TN) in penning an op-ed in the Washington Times. In the piece, the Senators exposed the Biden administration's last-ditch effort to push their globalist agenda by implementing a proposal that would effectively put other countries' interests above our own. The proposal is specifically concerning for Alabama-based Vulcan Materials Company in its ongoing dispute with the Mexican government.

Today, Senators Tuberville and Britt also introduced a resolution condemning Biden's United States Trade Representative (USTR) Katherine Tai for her efforts to undermine American businesses abroad days before President Trump is sworn into office.

"The Biden administration jeopardizes American national and economic security.

In its waning hours, the Biden administration is working overtime to remind Americans why they voted for President-elect Donald Trump, whether it's pardons of heinous criminals or destructive American energy restrictions.

One of the most harmful yet underreported measures is an effort by U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Katherine Tai to lock in before Jan. 20 a difficult-to-reverse trade proposal that would (1) Reward Mexico's government for violating the legal rights of American companies while (2) Jeopardizing construction of U.S. roads and bridges and (3) Potentially handing a key strategic port in the Gulf of Mexico to the Chinese Communist Party or other bad actors.

This appalling surrender of U.S. interests must be halted.

Specifically, the Biden administration wants to finalize a new binding re-interpretation of our trade agreement with Canada and Mexico that would snuff out U.S. companies' ongoing trade claims regarding unlawful actions by foreign governments."

Senator Tommy Tuberville represents Alabama in the United States Senate and is a member of the Senate Armed Services, Agriculture, Veterans' Affairs, HELP, and Aging Committees.
