What are the big differences between NAFTA and the USMCA?

What are the main new additions to the Agreement?

How is the USMCA helping the auto industry?

As the US economy naturally shifts from a manufacturing-heavy country to a service-based economy, is it unwise to hold on to old ways?

How many new jobs will be created under the USMCA and in which industries?

Does the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) support or oppose the USMCA? Why does it matter?

Was it time for an updated Agreement? What was missing from NAFTA that is covered in this Agreement?

Is this Agreement providing any protection for the environment?

Which provisions in the USMCA specifically and solely benefit the automobile industry?
