The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) announced on August 18, 2025, that the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) will undergo a formal review starting in July 2026.

The USMCA, which was implemented to enhance trade relations and competitiveness among the three countries, is seen as a critical framework for economic collaboration in North America.
