[The United States launches review of the USMCA and solicits opinions] The U.S. government formally launched the process of reviewing and possibly renewing the 2020 North American Free Trade Agreement on Tuesday, soliciting opinions from the public, businesses and unions on the agreement. The request from the Office of the United States Trade Representative solicits opinions on a wide range of issues related to the USMCA, including compliance, issues affecting the investment environment, and strategies to "enhance North American economic security and competitiveness." Comments must be submitted within 45 days of the notice being published in the Federal Register, and the Office of the United States Trade Representative will hold a public hearing on the agreement on November 17. The law requires this comment and hearing period before the formal joint review of the USMCA, scheduled for July 1, 2026, begins.
