Trade associations are calling for a prompt renewal of the USMCA, along with important changes in key sectors.

Trade groups from various industries, including retail and textiles, are pressing the Trump administration to quickly renew the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and seek specific enhancements. At a recent U.S. Trade Representative hearing, representatives highlighted the importance of maintaining duty-free trade and proposed revisions to the agreement, such as recognizing components from the Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement for origin purposes. They also called for improved customs practices, enforcement against fraud, and integration with other free trade partners to enhance supply chain efficiency.
