Description

This session will assess the current status of the 2026 USMCA review process, which began on 17 September 2025 with the publication by USTR and the Mexican Ministry of Economy of the call for the 60-day “public comment” phase of the review. The nations involved must choose whether to renew the USMCA for 16 more years, with another joint review after six years; to withdraw from the USMCA, following a minimum of six months’ notice to the other members; or to continue the USMCA without renewing it, in which case the agreement remains in force for 10 more years and expires in 2036. The session will provide an update on the current situation, including the status of negotiations and agreements.
