“Can’t believe that Nervous Nancy Pelosi isn’t moving faster on USMCA. Her people want it, they don’t know why she isn’t putting it up for a bipartisan vote. Taking too long!” Trump wrote on Twitter.

Trump has repeatedly called on Pelosi to push a vote on the USMCA through.

Ironically, she has indicated that she intends to deliver the deal.

“We’re moving ahead on USMCA hoping to be on a path, a continuing path to ‘yes,'” she told reporters in late September.

If passed, USMCA will create 176,000 jobs and will add $68.2 billion to the U.S. economy, according to the U.S. International Trade Commission.
