North American Millers' Association welcomes ratification of USMCA, a top priority
The North American Millers' Association (NAMA) is thrilled to announce that President Trump has signed the new US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) during a ceremony at the White House. The United States, Mexico, and Canada concluded negotiations for a modernized and rebalanced trade agreement in September, 2018 and a deal was reached by House Democrats and the Trump administration on an adapted trade pact in December.
NAMA has been an ardent advocate for swift ratification of the agreement. “NAMA applauds the ratification of the new North American trade pact. USMCA has been a top legislative priority for NAMA, and we are delighted to see this significant bipartisan accomplishment come to fruition. USMCA will benefit millers, farmers, and consumers, and we look forward to working with our members and allied food and agriculture industry organizations to ensure the timely implementation of the trade deal.” said Jim McCarthy, president & CEO. “This improved trade deal with Canada and Mexico provides reassurance for millers and the broader U.S. food and agricultural industries.”
