House Majority Leader Says Democrats Haven't Delved Into How NAFTA Concerns Could Be Resolved

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said he doesn't know if Democrats' concerns about enforcement, environment and labor in the new NAFTA can be resolved with side letters or implementing legislation, or whether negotiations with Mexico and Canada would have to begin again. "We haven't really delved into that," Hoyer said, answering a question from International Trade Today Feb. 13, as he was meeting with reporters in his Capitol office. "There really has not been a great outreach from the administration either, at this point. As you well know, there's a substantial concern about NAFTA, and its impact on workers, and our jobs and on our wages. The fact of the matter, there has not been substantial discussion about it."
