North SA Chamber urges Congress to approve the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA)
More than 12 million American jobs depend on trade with Canada and Mexico. Approval of USMCA ensures that U.S. businesses can continue to access both markets, virtually tariff-free. That is why the North Chamber, along with 600+ other business and agriculture organizations across the U.S., have signed a letter supporting USMCA. 
USMCA Roadshow is coming to San Antonio
The U.S. Department of Commerce launched a free, educational roadshow, featuring presentations and Q&A focused on Automotive Provisions of USMCA, and the agreement.
