US House Committee Prepares for Key Meeting on NAFTA Renewal

House Ways and Means Committee members are set to meet with Canadian Ambassador Kirsten Hillman this week in preparation for the upcoming July review of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which will formally be replaced by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). This meeting is part of ongoing US trade negotiations, according to a schedule obtained by Newsmax.

The administration under President Joe Biden is preparing for this mandatory review. The deadline for submitting reports on the agreement to key congressional committees falls in early January 2026.

A bipartisan group led by Representative Claudia Tenney has expressed concerns about dairy exports and other issues related to market access, indicating their intention to scrutinize potential renegotiations closely.
