United States House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is set to meet with US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer on Wednesday afternoon and discuss US trade policy amid ongoing trade tensions between Washington and Beijing.
Media reported, citing Democratic sources, that the official topic of the meeting will be President Donald Trump's United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) that succeeded the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and is yet to be voted on in Congress, where House Democrats doubt its effectiveness as both Canada and Mexico are still subjected to US tariffs.
"I wish him success in the negotiation. But as I say, we have to use our leverage without antagonizing those who are on our side on this," Pelosi said.
