# Trump Administration Declines to Renew USMCA, Launching a Decade of Annual Trade Reviews

> The Trump administration will not renew USMCA in its current form, demanding tighter auto-content rules and starting a decade of annual reviews with Canada and Mexico.

The Trump administration announced on July 1 that it will not renew the USMCA in its current form, missing the trade pact's mandated six-year review deadline. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer cited "shortcomings and our trade deficits" with Canada and Mexico as the reason, arguing the deal failed to modernize and rebalance North American trade.

Washington is pushing for tighter rules: raising the North American auto-content requirement from 75% to 82%, adding a new 50% minimum for U.S.-made parts, and aligning Canadian and Mexican tariff policy with U.S. duties on Chinese goods. Canadian digital-streaming rules and dairy supply management are also on the table.

The move does not terminate the deal — it stays in force through a decade of mandatory annual reviews, during which Washington could pursue separate bilateral agreements with Mexico and Canada instead of the trilateral pact. It marks a striking reversal for Trump, who signed the original USMCA in 2018 and once called it the "most important trade deal ever."
