WASHINGTON—The U.S. House of Representatives approved the new trade pact with Canada and Mexico that supplants the 25-year-old North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) on Dec. 19 in a 385 to 41 vote.

The U.S.–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) has strong provisions that serve as a model for future U.S. trade agreements, providing advanced protection for American workers, manufacturers, and farmers.
