Texans know firsthand the importance of international trade, especially w Mexico & Canada. That’s bc no state has more invested in trade with our neighbors than Texas. As a fierce competitor on the international stage, TX is home to more than 2.2 million jobs dependent on trade.
I am proud to have voted to pass USMCA, which is anticipated to create 180,000 more jobs and provide a $70 billion boost to U.S. GDP. This deal is a win for Texas farmers, ranchers, businesses, and manufacturers, and will ensure greater economic opportunity for every American.
While I support #USMCA, I'm disappointed #BigTech’s special immunity from liability – often referred to by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act – was included in the final agreement.
More and more Americans are concerned about #BigTech’s pattern of political bias and censorship, and enshrining 230 provisions in our trade agreements is a mistake.
I will continue working with my colleagues in the Senate and President Trump and his administration to ensure our trade agreements going forward reflect settled American law, values, and customs.
