Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released the following statement after the Senate approved H.R. 5430, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Implementation Act (USMCA):
“The USMCA makes important changes that will strengthen American workers and deepen ties with our neighbors, all while defending and expanding opportunities for dignified work in our country,” Rubio said. “The deal is also an important victory for Floridians, taking significant steps to facilitate our state’s trade-based economic growth, particularly among our 3.4 million small businesses, who will benefit from new provisions specifically aimed at assisting them.
“However, no trade deal is perfect, and while many American farmers and ranchers are celebrating, Florida’s fruit and vegetable growers were once again left to fend for themselves,” Rubio continued. “Florida growers deserve an effective, enforceable, and durable solution to the problems NAFTA helped impose. While the USMCA will not improve their situation, I remain confident that this administration will continue to look for ways to address significant price distortions in the domestic seasonal and perishable produce market caused by a rising tide of unfair import competition.”
Rubio is the Chairman of the Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women’s Issues.
Washington, D.C. — El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió el siguiente comunicado tras la aprobación en el senado del H.R. 5430, United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Implementation Act (USMCA, por sus siglas en inglés):
“El T-MEC hace cambios importantes que fortalecerán a los trabajadores estadounidenses y profundizará los lazos con nuestros vecinos, todo mientras defiende y amplía las oportunidades para un trabajo digno en nuestro país”, Rubio dijo. “El acuerdo también es una victoria importante para los floridanos, tomando medidas significativas para facilitar el crecimiento económico en temas de comercio en nuestro estado, particularmente entre nuestras 3.4 millones de pequeñas empresas, las cuales se beneficiarán de nuevas disposiciones destinadas a ayudarlos.
“Sin embargo, ningún acuerdo comercial es perfecto, y mientras muchos agricultores y ganaderos estadounidenses están celebrando, los productores de frutas y verduras de la Florida tuvieron que defenderse ellos mismos”, continuó Rubio. “Los productores de la Florida merecen una solución efectiva y duradera a los problemas que el TLCAN impuso.
Si bien, el T-MEC no mejorará su situación, sigo confiado en que esta administración continuará buscando la manera de abordar las distorsiones en los precios del mercado nacional de productos perecederos y de temporada. También, confió que la administración abordará el tema de la creciente competencia desleal en temas de importación“.
Rubio es el presidente del Subcomité de Relaciones Exteriores para el Hemisferio Occidental, Delincuencia Transnacional, Seguridad Civil, Democracia, Derechos Humanos y Asuntos Globales de la Mujer.
