This concurrent resolution declares the sense of Congress that the 25-percent tariffs announced by the Trump administration on imports from Canada and Mexico , set to take effect in April 2025, are in violation of the United States of America-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) . The resolution highlights that these tariffs threaten to undermine the USMCA, which was signed into law in 2020 and has fostered significant economic growth and trade among the three nations. Congress believes these tariffs undermine free and fair trade, creating uncertainty and chaos for consumers and businesses, thereby harming the U.S. economy. Furthermore, the resolution states that Congress recognizes strong support for the vital importance of the USMCA across various sectors, for the elimination of longstanding unwarranted non-tariff trade barriers through effective dispute settlement, and for the 2026 review process to move forward.
