The United StatesMexicoCanada Agreement, or USMCA, is a 21st century, highstandard trade agreement for a market of more than 500 million consumers. USMCA supports mutually beneficial trade for freer markets, fairer trade, and robust economic growth across North America. The USMCA, which entered into force on July 1, 2020, modernizes the previous North American Free Trade Agreement (or NAFTA).

USMCA works for American businesses. By simplifying rules, reducing costs, and providing greater transparency, USMCA increases opportunities for U.S. exporters in our neighboring countries—Canada and Mexico.
