MCALLEN, Texas - Jorge Torres, a licensed customs broker and president and CEO of Interlink Trade Services, has given the RGG Business Journal an update on the renewal of USMCA.
The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement comes up for renewal in July 2026 and the first hearings on the issue have already been held in Washington, D.C.
In his in-depth interview with the Journal, Torres explains what's at stake in the review of USMCA. He also addresses speculation that the agreement could be scrapped altogether and replaced with individual deals between the U.S. and Canada, and the U.S. and Mexico.
Whatever happens, the impact will be felt the most along the South Texas border region, Torres said.
In the interview, Torres also explains the impact of more stringent tariffs, imposed by the U.S. on goods being imported from countries such as Mexico.
