Senators Urge Trump Administration to Highlight USMCA Benefits for Agriculture
A bipartisan group of over 40 U.S. senators has written to United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, emphasizing the importance of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) for American agriculture. The senators highlighted the critical market access to Canada and Mexico, which has significantly contributed to the success of American agriculture and the global competitiveness of U.S. producers. Since the USMCA's implementation on July 1, 2020, U.S. agricultural exports to Canada and Mexico have increased by $10.7 billion and $7.6 billion, respectively. The letter comes as the U.S., Canada, and Mexico prepare for a review of the USMCA, which could lead to a 16-year extension of the agreement if deemed effective.
