In 2020, President Trump restored fairness to North American trade by signing the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) into law. Six years later, as this historic agreement enters its formal review period, the Agricultural Coalition for USMCA is celebrating its success and looking ahead to what comes next: ensuring USMCA remains in place.
Renewing this trilateral agreement with targeted adjustments will keep the American economy growing and provide long-term certainty for the U.S. food and agricultural value chain.
This timeline explores the major milestones of USMCA, from its historic beginning to the ongoing review that will shape its future for America.
USMCA enters into force after being signed into U.S. law by the President Donald Trump, marking the beginning of a new era in American trade.
Ahead of the agreement’s six-year anniversary, USMCA enters its formal review process, with the stakeholder comment period concluding on November 3, 2025.
At the close of the stakeholder comment period, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) received more than 1,500 comments reflecting broad engagement from industry, labor, agriculture, and public interest groups.
Over three days, the stakeholder hearing featured testimony from agriculture, business, labor, and other sectors. A number of participants broadly underscored the importance of USMCA’s continuation, while acknowledging the need for targeted adjustments.
USTR reports to Congress, giving lawmakers a chance to provide input ahead of the July 1, 2026 review.
The United States, Mexico, and Canada will convene for the joint review to discuss renewal, ongoing annual reviews, and the agreement’s long-term path.
