CTA Washington Post Ad Urges Congress to ‘Ratify’ USMCA, Boost ‘Nation’s Security’

Congress should “ratify” the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement on free trade and “strengthen our nation’s security,” said a full-page CTA ad in Tuesday's Washington Post. USMCA would boost America’s “physical security by aligning with our closest allies,” said the full-color ad, on the back page of the Post's A section. It would protect “our economic security by avoiding high tariffs, protecting American companies and encouraging good jobs,” it said. “Technology creates new jobs and helps drive the U.S. economy,” said President Gary Shapiro. “USMCA reduces barriers to digital trade, eliminates technical barriers to trade and promotes America's online platforms. Congress needs to make passing USMCA a top priority." Days earlier, CTA joined with nearly a dozen other tech groups urging the House Ways and Means and Senate Finance Committee leadership to approve USMCA “quickly” (see 1904290191).
