WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 -- Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Oregon, issued the following statement on the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement:

Unfortunately, those claims couldn't have been further from the truth, and NAFTA has led to the loss of millions of American family-wage jobs over the past twenty-five years.
