The president said the Democratic leader of the House of Representatives will go down in history as the least effective leader in history in that legislative body.

Donald Trump, president of the United States, reaffirmed Wednesday his attacks on Nancy Pelosi, leader of the House of Representatives, for the delay in the approval of the Treaty between Mexico, the United States and Canada (T-MEC) and said the two commercials partners of the United States are ready to call it quits.

" Nancy Pelosi will go down as the least productive Speaker of the House in history. She is dominated by AOC Plus 3 and the Radical Left. Mexico and Canada, after waiting for 6 months to be approved, are ready to flee - and who can blame them? Too bad!”, posted Trump on his Twitter account.

On Tuesday, Trump accused the Democratic leader of delaying the progress in the approval process of the new trade agreement because she wanted to secure votes for the possible political trial against him.

“She just wants to focus on the political trial, which is just a small dream he has... And they have told me, I mean, who knows if this is so, but I think it is so, that he is using the T-MEC because it doesn't have the political trial votes,” said Trump to reporters at the White House.

It is not clear at what stage the T-MEC is in the House of Representatives for approval.

"Pelosi can't get it off her desk. She just can't do it. I think this woman is very incompetent. All she has to do is submit it to a vote," Trump said.

Just last week, Pelosi had a trade meeting with some 40 first-year Democratic representatives, as well as with the president of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, known as AFL-CIO, during an audience of a political trial.

It was added that the president of AFL-CIO asked the House Democrats to suspend support for the T-MEC until the Donald Trump administration makes more changes and creates greater certainty in labor issues.

On the other hand, the chairman of the Media and Arbitration Committee, said earlier that the deal could be over by Christmas.
