The 2026 USMCA Review: Key Issues and Perspectives from the US, Canada, and Mexico

In July 2026, the United States, Canada, and Mexico face a pivotal decision: whether to extend the USMCA or allow it to terminate in 2036. While the agreement frames this as a simple up-or-down choice, in practice, the review will likely serve as an opportunity to amend the deal and address pressing issues in the North American trade relationship.

Each country has already launched consultations to gather stakeholder input, and the breadth of comments underscores that the negotiating agenda will be complex and contentious. For companies that rely on cross-border trade, staying engaged in this process is essential to protect and advance their interests.
