Since President Trump took office in January of 2017, he has shown his desire to follow through with trade policies that were a central part of his campaign. After the President officially withdrew the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (“TPP”), he immediately focused on renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”).

The newest version, entitled the U.S.–Mexico-Canada Agreement (“USMCA”), will need to be ratified by the legislative bodies of all three countries before becoming effective.
