Letter to USTR Emphasizes the Importance of USMCA

A bipartisan group of senators, including Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Steve Daines (R-MT), John Boozman (R-AK), and Raphael Warnock (D-GA), is urging continued support and improvements to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement ahead of its upcoming six-year review. In a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, the lawmakers highlighted the agreement’s importance to American agriculture. They noted that the U.S. remains the world’s largest agricultural exporter, with $176 billion in exports in 2024, and emphasized that Canada and Mexico are key markets. “The market access achieved under USMCA is a critical component of the success of American agriculture,” the senators wrote. The letter stresses that stable trade rules and integrated supply chains are essential for farmers and ranchers. It also calls for continued collaboration to strengthen the agreement and ensure long-term certainty and competitiveness for U.S. producers. “The USMCA has been a true success story for American soybean farmers,” said American Soybean Association President Scott Metzger.
