Senators Advocate for USMCA Review to Protect American Agriculture
A bipartisan group of U.S. senators, including Roger Wicker and Cindy Hyde-Smith, is emphasizing the importance of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) for American agriculture as its first mandatory six-year review approaches. The senators have written a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, urging continued engagement with farmers and ranchers during the review process scheduled for July 1, 2026. They support the agreement and call for enforcement of current rules and action to address trade barriers that disadvantage U.S. producers. The USMCA, which replaced NAFTA in 2020, has been crucial for maintaining strong market access, with Canada and Mexico being top export markets for U.S. agricultural goods.
