“I just want to help the president with everything he wants to do,” said Grassley, who met with the Mexican foreign minister Tuesday.
Ebrard also met with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to discuss Mexico’s plan to change its labor laws, a key demand of House Democrats to secure passage of the USMCA.
Representative Henry Cuellar, a Texas Democrat who participated in the meeting, said he was “optimistic” about the trade deal after talking to the Mexican delegation.
“We are moving along even though the administration appears to be trying to blow this up,” Cuellar said.
