Washington - Today, Business Roundtable CEO Joshua Bolten issued the following statement marking the sixth anniversary of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) entering into force:
"Over the past six years, USMCA has delivered significant economic benefits for the United States. North American trade supports more than 13 million American jobs, and Canada and Mexico are the top export markets for U.S. manufactured goods and agricultural products. All three economies have grown since USMCA entered into force, but the United States has grown the most.
"As the agreement reaches this important milestone, the three governments can better align policies against unfair trading practices, reduce regulatory and economic friction within the region, and ensure North America is better positioned to compete with non-market economies. Business Roundtable urges the Administration to work expeditiously with Canada and Mexico to strengthen and extend USMCA."
