U.S. producers warn Trump’s tariffs jeopardize their access to Canada, Mexico

U.S. agricultural groups warn tariffs risk losing preferential access to Canada and Mexico, threatening billions in exports and urging extension of the USMCA trade agreement.

  • On Wednesday, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative held a Washington hearing urging President Donald Trump to extend the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement and warned tariffs threaten market access.
  • With the July 1, 2026 review date, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative must report its recommendation to Congress by Jan. 2, as mandated by law.
  • $13 billion in annual horticultural sales face threats from retaliatory tariffs imposed by Mexico, risking severe losses and devastation for thousands of American family tree-fruit farms, Riley Bushue said.
  • Two beef-industry officials requested mandatory country-of-origin labelling for beef, while representatives of the U.S. distilled spirits sector pressed for geographic designations and tariff-free trade protections with Canada and Mexico.
  • With political stakes high, President Donald Trump signalled he might 'either let it expire, or we'll maybe work out another deal with Mexico and Canada,' while most sectors backed extension but raised complaints aimed at Mexico.
