Senators urge Greer to continue USMCA

A large coalition of senators led by Sens. Steve Daines, R-Mont.; Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; John Boozman, R-Ark., and Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., led a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, emphasizing their support of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement ahead of the agreement’s six-year joint review and urging expanded market access and certainty for American producers.

“American family farmers and ranchers depend on the certainty afforded by a stable agreement,” the senators wrote.

“The integrated supply chains facilitated by streamlined compliance requirements, effective rules governing food safety measures, and intellectual property protections have allowed the U.S. to build a fortified trading network here in the Western Hemisphere. Our close proximity to dependable markets based on rules-based, science-driven commitments from our trading partners is critical for domestic producers.”
