Dear Ambassador Greer:
On behalf of the more than 500 undersigned business and agriculture organizations and chambers of commerce from across the United States, we are writing to convey our continuing support for the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). While a number of important compliance issues require greater attention and remediation through the “joint review” now under way, USMCA remains critical to our economic future because it preserves and strengthens U.S. trade ties to Canada and Mexico.
More than 13 million American jobs depend on trade with Canada and Mexico. U.S. manufacturers export more made-in-America manufactured goods to our North American neighbors than they do to the next 12 largest export markets combined, and the two countries account for one-third of U.S. agricultural exports. They are also the top two export destinations for U.S. small and medium-size businesses, more than 100,000 of which sell their goods and services to Canada and Mexico.
USMCA ensures U.S. manufacturers, farmers, and service providers can continue to access the Canadian and Mexican markets. It guarantees that virtually all U.S. exports enter these markets tariff-free and helps American companies and the workers they employ compete in our top two export markets.
The case for maintaining this agreement is strong. We look forward to working closely with you to preserve these benefits over the course of the joint review.
Sincerely,
National
