Trump's tariffs not a trade war, it's balancing our economy
Sen. Markwayne Mullin is heeding White House advice and taking a long-term view to help explain the sweeping tariffs President Donald Trump unleashed on allies and foes alike. "This isn't a trade war. This is balancing our economy
with countries that have taken advantage of us," Mullin told "Fox News Sunday" host Shannon Bream. "There's countries for decades that have got rich over the backs of the workers here in America."

We have been subsidizing the Canadian economy by billions
We haven't lost Canada as an ally. They need us more than we need them. The fact is we have been subsidizing their economy by the tunes of billions of dollars every single year and they know that. What President Trump is saying is, is enough is enough.
If you want to have a relationship with the United States, it's going to be an even playing field, a two-way street. We want reciprocal tariffs. We want to be treated the same. We want to have access to your economy like you have access to us.

Trump trade deal with Canada and Mexico puts America first
For too long American consumers and producers have been at a disadvantage because of the outdated and unfair North American Free Trade Agreement. President Trump promised the American people a better trade deal with our North American trading partners
and he delivered. The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement brings us into the 21st century and puts America first. It will positively impact the lives of countless workers, business owners, farmers, and families in Oklahoma and across our country.

Implement USMCA for improved North American trade.
Mullin voted YEA USMCA Implementation Act
Summary from Congressional Record and Wikipedia:Vote to amend the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and establish the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Rather than a wholly new agreement, it has been characterized as `NAFTA 2.0`; final terms were negotiated on September 30, 2018 by each country. The agreement is scheduled to come into effect on July 1, 2020.
Case for voting YES by Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL); (Dec. 19, 2019)The USMCA includes stronger protections for American workers and enforceable labor standards, as well as environmental protections. It eliminates the Trump Administration`s threat that the US could walk away entirely from the trade agreement with Canada and Mexico, which would devastate US jobs and our economy.
Case for voting NO by Jared Huffman (D-CA); (Dec. 19, 2019) Democratic negotiators did a lot to improve Donald Trump`s weak trade deal, especially in terms of labor standards and enforcement, but the final deal did not reach the high standard that I had hoped for. The NAFTA renegotiations were a once-in-a-generation opportunity to lift labor and environmental standards across the continent--to lock in serious climate commitments with two of our largest trading partners and dramatically improve labor standards and enforcement to slow the rise of outsourcing.
Legislative outcome: Bill Passed (Senate) (89-10-1) - Jan. 16, 2020; bill Passed (House) (385-41-5) - Dec. 19, 2019; signed at the G20 Summit simultaneously by President Trump, Mexican President Enrique Nieto, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Nov. 30, 2018
