USMCA in Focus

Today, NASCO remains at the forefront of North American trade—championing a strong, truly trilateral USMCA as we approach the 2026 review. We invite you to read our letter to the three federal governments and explore our detailed recommendations, which reflect the collective expertise of our members working every day at the intersection of trade and transportation. Looking ahead, the United States, Canada, and Mexico have a critical opportunity to further strengthen our North American partnership—but the USMCA must remain a trilateral agreement, binding all three nations together in common cause.
