WASHINGTON, D.C. (RFD NEWS) — The upcoming review of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) is putting renewed focus on North American trade relationships. U.S. officials say they are looking at ways to strengthen the agreement, including addressing non-tariff barriers and enforcement concerns.

Haney discusses what he’s watching most closely as the July review approaches, how enforcement and non-tariff barriers affect U.S.-Canada agricultural trade, the importance of stability for Canadian producers and exporters, and whether the review could result in fine-tuning or more significant changes.
