ZitatIn what has been an unrelenting battle between President Donald Trump and House Democrats, it would appear that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) blinked first.
After considerable pressure from both sides of the aisle to get a deal done, Pelosi finally appears to be ready to move forward with the U.S.–Mexico–Canada Trade Agreement (USMCA), according to Breitbart.
The USMCA deal has been sitting on Pelosi’s desk for months, yet it would appear that she has barely touched it due to her party’s disproportionate focus on the impeachment inquiry.
That changed this week, however, when Trump started to pressure Pelosi to get this deal done before it ends up in the shredder. Both Canada and Mexico are getting impatient, and Mexico was even getting ready to send a letter to Congress to demand action on the legislation.
With more and more Americans calling upon Congress to pass legislation that will actually benefit working people, Pelosi finally seems to have caved to the pressure.

Funny, House impeachment leader Adam Schiff (D-CA) could put together impeachment rules in a single day, but Pelosi can’t get this done over several months.
