“More than 13 million American jobs depend on trade with Canada and Mexico. US manufacturers export more made-in-America manufactured goods to our North American neighbours than they do to the next 12 largest export markets combined, and the two countries account for one-third of US agricultural exports,” the letter said.
They are also the top two export destinations for US small and medium businesses, more than 160,000 of which sell their goods and services to Canada and Mexico.
USMCA guarantees that virtually all US exports enter these markets tariff-free and helps American companies and the workers they employ compete in the top two export markets.
The entities who signed the letter include the American Association of Exporters and Importers, American Circular Textiles and the US Chamber of Commerce.
