A new trade deal has been reached between the US and Mexico. The deal will make trade practices much more fair for Americans dealing with Mexico. You’d think even the Democrats would be happy about this right? They always whined about NAFTA and other trade deals. Turns out, once again, Democrats don’t care about the American worker and plan to obstruct the new US-Mexico trade deal in the Senate.

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Wolf,” Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) declared a new North American trade deal will not be able to pass the Senate unless Canada is part of the deal and criticized the exclusion of Canada from the deal between the US and Mexico as “petty.”
Leahy said, “Excluding Canada, NAFTA won’t pass the Senate. I mean, the only way it passed last time was because Canada was part of it. It sort of falls in the same category, we’re all waiting for Mexico to pay for a wall. … Canada is our greatest trading partner. It comes across as petty.
