What does USMCA stand for?

USMCA stands for the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. It's the trade pact that replaced NAFTA.

Will the USMCA be renegotiated?

The USMCA mandates a review every six years, with the first review due by July 1. The governing body, the Free Trade Commission, must convene to decide on extending the agreement, which opens the door to potential renegotiations.

What happens if the USMCA isn't extended?

If the USMCA is not extended or is significantly altered, it could lead to the re-imposition of tariffs, increased customs complexities, and major disruptions to existing supply chains across North America, potentially increasing costs and leading to significant shifts in manufacturing and sourcing strategies.
