AI Summary

  • Memorializes Congress to approve the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to maintain trade continuity among the three North American economic partners.

  • Cites that trade with Canada and Mexico supports nearly 11 million American jobs, with nearly 5 million jobs supported by trade generated under NAFTA since 1994.

  • Notes that trade with Canada and Mexico has nearly quadrupled to $1.3 trillion since NAFTA entered into force, with the two countries purchasing more than one-third of U.S. merchandise exports.
