USMCA Review Could Fine-Tune Rules for North American Agriculture

Shaun Haney with Real Ag Radio joined us to break down the USMCA review and what Canadian producers and exporters should be watching in the months ahead.

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.

RealAg Radio Host Shaun Haney joined us on Thursday’s Market Day Report to provide a Canadian perspective on what might be ahead for agriculture.

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.
