“Both Canada and Mexico have had tariffs on our goods for many years.”

What exactly was the purpose of USMCA? Were its provisions unenforceable?

Didn’t Biden void or change it when he got in? He undid numerous improvements Trump started.

I believe the USMCA involves manufactured products, and doesn’t necessarily cover raw materials and agricultural commodities. That’s why the U.S. was imposing tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber almost continuously even after the original NAFTA agreement was signed.
