Top Four Reasons Why TAB Supports the Ratification of USMCA
The ratification of USMCA is critically needed to provide certainty for many in the Texas business sectors that rely on trade with Canada and Mexico, while in turn contributing to the U.S. economy.
Texas exports more than any other state to Mexico and is second only behind Michigan for exports to Canada.
Here are the top four reasons why TAB stands behind the ratification of USMCA:
Jobs- 700,000 Texans work because of trade with Mexico and Canada.
TX Economy-$173 billion worth of goods are exchanged between the Texas-Mexico region every year.
U.S. Small Business-Selling due to trade increased profitability and expansion and in-sector economic growth.
Competitiveness- Improved Quality and lower price competition
