The U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) is a cornerstone of the North American economy, enabling trade across borders and strengthening the ties between the United States, Mexico, and Canada. It plays a vital role in supporting millions of American jobs, fostering resilient supply chains, and helping U.S. businesses of all sizes compete in a global marketplace.
Maintaining and reinforcing USMCA is essential to sustaining economic growth, promoting investment, and ensuring North America remains one of the most competitive and dynamic regions in the world.

The United States, Mexico, and Canada collectively represent one of the world’s largest trading blocs with some of the most highly integrated and complementary supply chains, totaling $1.8 trillion in annual trade. Millions of U.S. jobs across manufacturing, agriculture, energy, and services sectors depend on North American trade.
Every single day, over $3 billion in goods and services flow seamlessly and help American companies and the workers they employ compete in our top two export markets.
Why USMCA Matters to U.S. Businesses, Workers, and the Economy
- Supply Chain Certainty: USMCA provides the rules-based framework businesses of all sizes rely on to plan, invest, and grow across North America.
- Level Playing Field: Among other advantages, strong intellectual property protections, digital trade provisions, and regulatory standards help U.S. companies compete fairly.
- Agricultural Competitiveness: U.S. farmers and ranchers gained improved market access to Canada and Mexico— two of our top export markets.
- Small Business Growth: Streamlined trade facilitation measures and preferential treatment allowed small and midsized businesses to compete in international markets for the first time.
- Energy & Manufacturing: Integrated energy markets and auto rules of origin support American factories, workers and consumers throughout the supply chain.
