US President Donald Trump on Tuesday blasted House Democrats for announcing an agreement to pass a revamp of the decades-old North American trade deal on the same day they unveiled articles of impeachment against him.
Speaking to a boisterous crowd in Hershey, Pennsylvania, Trump had harsh words for House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff.
"They announced the impeachment and then an hour later she (Pelosi) announced that she is going to do USMCA. You know why, it's a huge deal and it plays down the impeachment because they're embarrassed by the impeachment," Trump told the cheering crowd.
Trump is seeking to shore up support in swing states like Pennsylvania, which he won by less than 1 percentage point in 2016, visiting the state often ahead of the November 2020 election.
