President Pleased with Mexican Trucking Compromise
Statement by the President
The compromise reached by the House and Senate appropriators on Mexican
trucking is an important victory for safety and free
trade. We must promote the highest level of safety and
security on American highways while meeting our commitments to our
friends to the South. The compromise reached by the
conferees will achieve these twin objectives by permitting our border
to be opened in a timely manner and ensuring that all United States
safety standards will be applied to every truck and bus operating on
our highways.
