WASHINGTON—Vice President Mike Pence pressed Democrats to pass the new free-trade agreement with Canada and Mexico, saying that approval of the deal by Congress would strengthen President Donald Trump’s hand in trade negotiations with China.

Speaking at the Heritage Foundation on Sept. 17, Pence said that congressional approval of the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) is “absolutely vital.”
