## Resource

Congressman Henry Cuellar warns that the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade deal’s uncertain future is crippling businesses along the South Texas border, as President Trump’s shifting stance—calling it both the best and worst ever—fuels instability. While the agreement lasts until 2036, Trump’s push for annual reviews instead of a long-term commitment clashes with Mexico and Canada’s desire for stability. With trillions in trade and millions of U.S. jobs at stake, the U.S. Trade Representative’s recent statement that the U.S. won’t renew the deal as-is adds to the confusion. Upcoming talks in Mexico City aim to resolve these rifts, while tariffs and immigration enforcement further strain the border economy.
