WASHINGTON—U.S Senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz (R-TX) and U.S. Representatives Henry Cuellar (TX-28), Will Hurd (TX-23), and Lamar Smith (TX-21) today sent a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Robert Lighthizer urging him to consider San Antonio as the location for the signing ceremony for the updated North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), now called the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
“Given the prominent role that the City of San Antonio played in the enactment into force of the original agreement, it is our understanding that the City would be honored to host a signing of the new pact, as was done over two decades ago with the original NAFTA,” they wrote. “It is our hope that you will consider affirming USMCA in the same state where the trade relationship was officially brought into existence.”
