Save the cliche's it obvious that comprehension is not your strong suit or you would have clearly seen where I wrote "cut in about 27 states with both parties leadership so this isn't a claim of bias." .
But being one of the faithful anyone who speaks against fearless leader must be called stupid names so go gaslight another post and we'll do without your contributions.
Have a nice day..
You're a NeverTrumper. All of your previous posts indicate that. And all the other NeverTrumpers have swarmed to your assistance.
No point in trying to claim now that you are simply an impartial observer, cause you ain't.
What are some of the key provisions considered to be the most beneficial for U.S. companies?
The USMCA resulted in some significant updates to the existing NAFTA, improving market access for manufacturing and agricultural exports, as well as the inclusion of important new provisions in areas like digital trade and good regulatory practices.
In the automotive sector, the USMCA encourages U.S. manufacturing and regional economic growth by requiring that 75 percent of auto content be made in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The agreement also uses trade rules to encourage higher manufacturing wages by requiring 40 to 45 percent of automotive content be made by workers earning an average base-wage of at least $16 per hour.
The USMCA maintains agriculture tariffs at zero, and includes strong new commitments on biotechnology and science-based Sanitary and Phytosanitary measures, establishes mutual standards for geographical indicators, and seeks to reduce trade-distorting policies.
Specific to dairy trade with Canada, the agreement made gains for U.S. milk products, cheese, and poultry.
Specific to Mexico, for the first time in a United States trade agreement, Mexico and the United States agreed to not restrict market access in Mexico for U.S. cheeses labeled with certain names.
Improvements were also made in customs and trade facilitation with Canada and Mexico agreeing to raise their de minimis shipment-value levels for taxes and duties on lower value shipments, allowing these shipments to enter with minimal formal entry procedures. The agreement sets a new informal shipment level of US $2,500, so that express shipments under that threshold will benefit from reduced paperwork, making low-value shipments easier, faster, and less costly to trade.
Canada and Mexico agreed to strong intellectual property standards including strong enforcement provisions against counterfeiting and piracy, effective protection of trade secrets, and ex officio authority for law enforcement officials to stop suspected in-transit counterfeit goods. The agreement also establishes 10 years of data protection for biologic drugs.
The new digital trade chapter contains the strongest disciplines on digital trade of any international trade agreement, providing a firm foundation for the expansion of trade and investment in innovative products and services.
The USMCA includes a new Good Regulatory Practices chapter, the first of its kind for a U.S. trade agreement, which will help to reduce and prevent non-tariff barriers through increased transparency, evidence-based decision-making, and whole-of-government internal coordination.
Gen. Gustave F. Perna, who heads Operation Warp Speed, the Trump administration’s multiagency effort to get coronavirus vaccines out to Americans, apologized repeatedly on Saturday morning for confusion over vaccine deliveries to states. . .
“It was my fault,†he said. “It was a planning error, and I am responsible.â€
“I want to take personal responsibility for the miscommunication,†General Perna said at a news conference. . .

"Swarmed to my assistance", is everything in life a conspiracy to you and the rest of the faithful? If you don't like my posts feel free to not respond . You have proven the title because whenever anyone questions anything that fearless leader has done you all swarm like hornets to attack and prop up his reputation because heaven forbid he be held accountable and viewed as mediocre....

Yup, you can't fault the scientists. It was a remarkable achievement, but they still had to get the goodies in people's arms. I'm a little surprised the Army wasn't more involved than they are. The one (and perhaps only) thing they are really, really good at is getting stuff from Point A to Point B. To have FedEx and UPS involved whilst in the middle of holiday shipping season let alone a workforce stressed by the virus seems like poor planning but given it was the White House that was lead dog on this project I'm not shocked.
Remember Trump expected the first dosages ready for a certain Tuesday in November... Trump and planning don't go together. Trump uses underpants gnome business logic.

All of that is fluff. O broke down the two things that are going to be significant changes to someone's benefit.
Who benefits from car parts being made @ $16/hr? That's still much cheaper than practically every car mfg in the US. All that did was give a raise to Mexican plant workers, not American workers. Companies still benefit from shipping production to Mexico, and Mexico mashed more money from it.
Dairy is the other benefit that MIGHT benefit America, if for whatever reason we can convince Canada to buy foreign milk instead of domestic milk. Feel free to hang your hopes on American resurgence on those extra milk sales...
But Trump told you it was a great deal and you believed him bc he's not the type to lie about what he's done.
