Congressman Mark Amodei issued the following statement following his reintroduction of H. Res. 152, reaffirming the deep and steadfast United States-Canada partnership and the ties that bind the two countries in support of economic and national security:
“In a world increasingly marked by global tensions and uncertainty, it is invaluable to have strong and dependable friends in every corner of the globe, especially along our border,” said Congressman Mark Amodei.
“Nevada’s 2nd congressional district exports more than $1.4 billion in goods and $75 million in services to Canada annually, bolstering our supply chains and enhancing our competitive edge. We are united by our shared interests in securing our borders, delivering economic prosperity, and preserving democratic values. As the co-chair of the bipartisan American-Canadian Economy and Security Caucus (ACES), I’m proud to have reintroduced this resolution to reinforce our mutually beneficial commitment to each other’s safety and success.”
“The United States has no more reliable ally or steadier friend than Canada” said the Ambassador of Canada to the United States, Kirsten Hillman.
“This Resolution highlights that no two nations benefit more from each other than the U.S. and Canada. With nearly $1 trillion in goods and services crossing our shared border every year, trade with Canada plays an important role in U.S. economic security and supports millions of American jobs. We are steadfast in our commitment to enhancing continental security, maintaining a secure border, supporting U.S. energy dominance, and uniting against the threat of foreign adversaries. I would like to thank ACES Co-Chairs, Representatives Mark Amodei, Lizzie Fletcher, Marc Veasey, and Buddy Carter, other co-sponsors, and all members of the ACES Caucus for their dedication to reinforcing the Canada-U.S. relationship.”
“The U.S.-Canada Alliance has long been one of America’s most important friendships. The ties between our nations are deep, with over 8,600 Canadian companies doing business in the Dallas-Fort Worth area alone” said Congressman Marc Veasey (TX-33).
“This partnership is vital, contributing to a staggering $40.3 billion in goods and services trade just between DFW and Canada alone. But beyond the numbers, our collaboration in energy, security, and countless other sectors strengthens both our economies and our shared values. As a proud representative of the Dallas-Fort Worth community, I am honored to continue working toward expanding and deepening this crucial friendship with Canada. Together, we are not just neighbors, but partners in prosperity and peace.”
“For more than a century, the United States and Canada have maintained a close partnership built on a foundation of shared democratic values,” said Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher (TX-7).
“I was glad to introduce this bipartisan resolution with Congressman Amodei, Congressman Veasey, and Congressman Buddy Carter to highlight the significance of the U.S.-Canada relationship to our economy and our national security. As close trade partners and allies, I look forward to continuing to advance policies to support and strengthen this important relationship.”
