The Agreement between the United States of America, the United Mexican States, and Canada . (USMCA) is a free trade agreement between Canada, Mexico, and the United States that has been ratified by each country.[2][3][4] Rather than a wholly new agreement, it has been characterized as "NAFTA 2.0 . The Agreement is the result of a 2017–2018 renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) by its member states, which informally agreed to the terms on September 30, 2018, and formally on October 1 .The USMCA was proposed by United States President Donald Trump and was signed by President Trump, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on November 30, 2018 as a side event of the 2018 G20 Summit in Buenos Aires. A revised version was signed on December 10, 2019 and was ratified by all three countries, with the final ratification (Canada) on March 13, 2020.Negotiations "focused largely on auto exports, steel and aluminum tariffs, and the dairy, egg, and poultry markets." One provision "prevents any party from passing laws that restrict the cross-border flow of data".Compared to NAFTA, USMCA increases environmental and working regulations, and incentivizes more domestic production of cars and trucks.The agreement also provides updated intellectual property protections, gives the United States more access to Canada's dairy market, imposes a quota for Canadian and Mexican automotive production, and increases the duty-free limit for Canadians who buy U.S. goods online from $20 to $150.
