WASHINGTON, D.C. — Alliance for Automotive Innovation, together with six major automotive trade groups, sent the following letter to U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, urging the administration to preserve the "trilateral framework" of the United States-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) trade agreement.
The organizations wrote:
"For more than three decades, the United States, Mexico, and Canada have jointly built the world’s most deeply integrated automotive and vehicle parts production that allows the industry to deliver safe, affordable vehicles to American consumers. Vehicles and components cross our borders multiple times before final assembly. This efficient and cost-effective system enables American manufacturers, suppliers, and workers to compete globally, while keeping costs down for consumers. The USMCA’s trilateral design—with a unified set of automotive rules of origin—reflects this reality. Extending USMCA would send a clear signal that companies need to invest, innovate, and grow jobs here at home."
