Back from a brief hiatus, Josh, Liam, and Paul are ready to dive into the newly released United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), or NAFTA 2.0.

With Paul out of town this week, Josh and Liam catch up on what’s happening in Washington this month. From shutdown threats and budget proposals to Trade Wars and elections, a lot is going on here in DC.

Today’s episode features a chat with Haley Byrd (@byrdinator), Congressional Reporter for The Weekly Standard. Haley lends her expertise on the workings and habits of Congress to our discussion of the latest NAFTA and Trade War news.
