WASHINGTON, D.C. – National Foreign Trade Council (NFTC) Senior Director for Trade and Innovation Brad Wood today issued the following statement, on the date of the first United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) Joint Review:
“The integrated North American marketplace created by USMCA is the bedrock of U.S. competitiveness, delivering affordable domestic manufacturing and enabling American firms to compete and win in global markets.
“As negotiations continue beyond today’s formal review date, the NFTC urges all three governments to work trilaterally to address the remaining barriers and prioritize renewal of the agreement to restore the stability, predictability, and rules-based framework that the USMCA provides to U.S. businesses, workers, and consumers.”
