Texas Republican Rep. Kevin Brady, ranking member of the House Ways and Means Committee, told Just the News there’s a “de facto trade moratorium” under the Biden Administration and he’s urging the president and his trade representative, Katherine Tai, to pursue new trade agreements.
“I think it’s really important that we do more and America continue to lead on trade,” Brady said during a press briefing marking the one-year anniversary of the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) with members of the Texas congressional Delegation. “Right now there is sort of a de facto trade moratorium. The administration is not yet pursuing new trade agreements.
“I continue to urge Ambassador Tai, who I think will be a terrific trade ambassador for the U.S., and President Biden, to pursue new agreements, opening markets in the U.K. and Europe, an expanded comprehensive agreement with Japan. I think there are more opportunities in Africa, as well. I’m urging the administration to seek a phase two agreement with China that addresses the remaining trade barriers and distortions and subsidies we have with them, and then allowing us to begin subtracting tariffs.”
Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar, who joined Brady during the event, said there is more work for the federal government to do regarding trade with Mexico beyond USMCA.
“We used to have about 18, 19 million Mexicans that would come over and spend money at the Galleria, the North Star mall,” he said. “It was closed, what they call the non-essential border restriction, and we want it to open … we certainly want to have tourism open because they spent so much money in the United States.”
Addressing the issue of illegal migration and border security, Brady said it was “clearly a mistake” for the administration to have ended the “remain in Mexico” policy that required asylum-seekers arriving at the border to stay in Mexico to wait for their court hearing.
“It is a key policy and a common sense policy under the Trump administration, but it is under any administration, and I credit Mexico … as well as Canada,” he said. “Mexico has taken strong steps to try to […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
