USMCA Up for Review in July, 2026

The US, Mexico, Canada Agreement must be reviewed by July of 2026. Dave Samuelson, Senior Director of Government Relations for the American Farm Bureau Federation, said preparations are already underway.

“The US Trade Representative's Office has solicited comments all kinds of people in industry what they think of the opportunities for changes in the agreement. Our Trade Representative, Ambassador Greer, has been briefing the various committees on what the objectives of the government will be going forward.”

Samuelson said the upcoming negotiations are a great opportunity to improve the agreement between the three North American neighbors.

“We were not satisfied with how Canada implemented any improvements in dairy product access from the US in the USMCA. We also have had problems over the many years with seasonal import surges, primarily seasonal produce from Mexico. That is what we want to see addressed when the countries come together.”

He said the three countries will meet behind the scenes during the run-up to July,

“The folks from the various trade and other agencies, their governments will get together to work on the issues, prepare, hopefully, a agreement that they can discuss in July.”

Which will then be followed by congressional hearings, once again, Dave Samuelson with the American Farm Bureau Federation.
