Washington D.C. – National Foreign Trade Council (NFTC) President Rufus Yerxa today issued the following statement marking the date of entry into force of USMCA:
“We are hopeful that today will mark the end of a long three years of uncertainty for countless U.S. businesses who rely on the North American platform to remain productive, innovative and competitive in the global economy – especially as we face the post-pandemic economic recovery. However, much will depend on how the agreement is implemented over the coming months.
“We are glad to see that North American integration remains a fundamental part of U.S. trade policy and we look forward to working with Congress and the administration to ensure a smooth transition from NAFTA to USMCA for our country’s businesses and consumers.”
