On November 3, 2025, SAFE submitted comments in response to the Office of the United States Trade Representative’s Request for Public Comments and Notice of Public Hearing Relating to the Operation of the Agreement Between the United States of America, the United Mexican States, and Canada.
As an organization committed to strengthening American energy, economic, and national security, SAFE views the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) as a key instrument for building resilient, regionally integrated supply chains that reduce strategic dependence on China. The agreement offers a unique opportunity to create a “Fortress North America,” a secure, competitive, and collaborative economic bloc capable of withstanding global disruptions and advancing shared prosperity.
Applying and upholding robust transparency measures in the USMCA will be critical to ensuring that China does not circumvent and undermine the ability for USMCA to strengthen American business and create supply chains outside their influence. As geopolitical and economic pressures mount, the importance of leveraging USMCA to strengthen American businesses, reinforce North American industrial capacity, and create supply chain independence cannot be overstated.
