Bush Will Seek Reversal

From Reuters at 10:54 AM

President Bush is disappointed in a House vote to prohibit Mexican trucks from greater access to U.S. roads and will seek to reverse it, the White House said Wednesday.

The House approved a measure late Tuesday to force Mexican trucks to first meet American safety standards before they are allowed more access to American highways.

Passage of the amendment, sought by Democrats, was unexpected and unless reversed will confound Bush administration plans to open U.S. highways to Mexican trucks next January under the terms of the North American Free Trade Agreement, known as NAFTA.

"The president thinks the action is wrong and is going to work to reverse it," said White House spokesman Ari Fleischer.

Mexican trucks are now confined to narrow commercial zones in border states where they transfer their goods to U.S. haulers.
