Western Livestock Journal: USMCA View From Canada

Just when you may have thought it was over, the new U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) will be coming up again. Though all three countries have agreed to it, it is not a done deal for the United States. The same is true in Canada and Mexico. The new agreement is a change from the 1994 agreement between the three countries, known as NAFTA—the North American Free Trade Agreement. In Canada, USMCA is called the “Canada-United States-Mexico agreement” or CUSMA. In French Canadian, it is called the “Accord Canada–États-Unis–Mexique” (ACEUM) while in Mexico, they call the agreement “Tratado entre México, Estados Unidos y Canadá” (T-MEC).
