“The USMCA didn’t contemplate the pandemic,” says the AS/COA senior director. The North American trade pact was implemented on July 1.
"It maintains at a high level the North American trading and economic relationship,” said the AS/COA vice president in a discussion that included Americas Society Board Member Arturo Sarukhan.
“This momentous agreement will continue to create stability, growth, and jobs in the United States, Mexico, and Canada,” said AS/COA President and CEO Susan Segal.
