The signing of the new United States-Mexico-Canada-Agreement (USMCA) last month is the latest signal that North American trade can expect to return to some semblance of normalcy. But ratification in the U.S. Congress is no guarantee, and there are still numerous pain points in the Canada-U.S. trade relationship.

Get valuable insights on what to expect in the near-future during this webinar with Philip Levy, Senior Fellow on the global economy at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. Philip will discuss how the USMCA, the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement in Canadian documentation, or the new NAFTA – can be expected to impact North American trade, why the tensions that remain are unlikely to be resolved, and how the changes affect key sectors of the economy.

In this recorded webinar, Philip identifies and elaborates on three key questions that persist in North American and global trade.

1. How will the countries address the U.S. Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum, plus accompanying retaliation?
2. Will the United States impose auto tariffs on the rest of the world?
3. Will the USMCA be able to pass the U.S. Congress?
