US President Donald Trump is considering a North American trade pact without Canada, according to reports. The potential agreement would involve the United States and Mexico, with negotiations currently underway.
Separately, Representative Rashida Tlaib has been pressuring Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro) CEO Phil Washington over comments made by President Trump about a proposed bridge connecting California to Nevada. Mr. Trump had threatened to cancel the project unless LA Metro agreed to certain conditions.
In response to these developments, Democratic lawmakers have launched an investigation into the “Bridgegate” controversy surrounding President Trump’s comments on the bridge proposal. The House Oversight Committee has requested details from LA Metro regarding a meeting between President Trump and one of his officials.
Additionally, Democrats are targeting Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro) CEO Phil Washington in their expanding probe of President Trump’s threats. The investigation aims to uncover more information about the potential agreement with Mexico and its implications for Canada.
These reports come as negotiations between the United States and Mexico continue over a new trade pact.
