President Donald Trump has increased his pressure on the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives on Oct. 25 to pass the revised trade agreement between the United States, Mexico, and Canada, as he continued to criticize the Democrats for delays in their legislative decisions.

“Republicans are just outraged. The American public is outraged that the ‘Do nothing Democrats’ are doing nothing,” Trump told reporters before departing the White House for an event in South Carolina. “There’s such an opportunity to get things done. We need USMCA passed. It’s a great deal for our country, for our farmers, manufacturers, unions, it’s a great deal for our country.”
