Toomey was the sole Republican to vote against the USMCA despite its importance to the president’s agenda and Trump’s reliance on Pennsylvania in the upcoming November election.

A staunch conservative and opponent of Trump’s trade agenda, Toomey argued that provisions meant to boost wages in Mexico and raise the tariff-free threshold for autos would spike prices for American consumers.

“Outside of a few necessary modernizations and modest market access improvements for Pennsylvania's dairy farmers, USMCA is a step backwards and I could not support its passage,” Toomey said in a Thursday statement.

Is this true? If so would it be a concession we gave to get the overall deal done?

I disagree with that characterization.
Anyone who opposes America First is a globalist and Toomey has supported gun control, so he isn’t a staunch conservative (unless you believe Bush League Republicans are conservative)
