Chief White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow gave rare praise to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Tuesday, saying she’s been “terrific” on talks surrounding the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, an update to the North American Free Trade Agreement.

“I think Speaker Pelosi has been very accommodating on this,” Kudlow said at a CNBC event in Washington. “She’s been terrific.”
