Reports: Trump, House Democrats Close to Deal on Revisions to Trade Deal

VOA News

   News reports say House Democrats and the White House are close to
   agreeing on changes to a trade deal that the United States, Canada and
   Mexico signed last year but have not ratified.

   The United States-Mexico-Canada-Agreement, known as the USMCA, would
   replace the existing North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA,
   which President Donald Trump has derided as the "worst trade deal" ever
   signed by the U.S. He made renegotiating NAFTA a campaign promise
   during the 2016 presidential race.

   NAFTA took effect in the 1990s during U.S. President Bill Clinton's
   administration.
