New Trade Deal Could Open Door for Future Lumber Talks The new trade deal between the U.S., Canada and Mexico that will replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, has the potential to yield positive developments regarding the  ongoing U.S.-Canada lumber trade dispute .   While the accord does not specifically address the lumber trade conflict, it does leave in place the dispute resolution mechanism from NAFTA’s Chapter 19. Now moved to Chapter 31, it allows a panel with representatives from each country that is party to a dispute to challenge tariffs that may be imposed.   With the negotiations on the USMCA accord now completed by the three nations, this leaves open the possibility that the U.S. and Canada can now focus on resolving bilateral trade issues regarding softwood lumber.
