U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady will speak at Texas A&M University’s Bush School of Government & Public Service about the challenges of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady, who has served the Eighth District of Texas in the U.S. House of Representatives for the past 25 years, will be on campus to discuss “Negotiating the USMCA: Domestic and International Challenges” at the Bush School’s Annenberg Presidential Conference Center. The event will take place on Wednesday, February 23, 2022, at 6 p.m. It is part of The Other Side of the Border: Ties That Bind and Issues That Divide speaker series organized by Bush School Assistant Professor Aileen Teague. The series invites practitioners and policymakers working on the U.S.-Mexico border and in Mexico and Latin America to share their expertise and experiences.
“Congressman Brady’s visit will be a wonderful opportunity for our students and community to hear firsthand the process of negotiating the USMCA,” stated Teague.
Congressman Brady formerly chaired and currently serves as the Republican Leader of the House Ways and Means Committee. The Committee exercises jurisdiction over revenue and related issues, such as tariffs and reciprocal trade agreements. As a recognized national leader on free trade, Congressman Brady has helped successfully secure passage of 13 of America’s 15 free trade agreements, including the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) that went into effect on July 1, 2020.
