North Dakota Senator Kevin Cramer is optimistic about the U.S. Mexico Canada Agreement being ratified this year. “I think House lawmakers do feel a sense of urgency to get things done. A number of farm-state Democrats are starting to flex their muscles and say they need to win re-election too.” Cramer says the Trump administration is trying to meet the concerns of Democrats. In the USMCA, Cramer would like to see fairness for U.S. wheat exports. Cramer sent a letter to chief agricultural negotiator Gregg Doud in early July, asking for ways to address the ongoing conflict with Canada. “We still have some work to do, but at least they are open to it.”
