Woofun AI reports that U.S. Trade Representative Grier announced the United States will not automatically renew the USMCA, opting instead for annual reviews of the trade pact.

Grier stated the administration is "not prepared to automatically approve the agreement" due to "substantial issues" requiring modifications to rectify imbalances. While the USMCA remains in effect for ten years unless a party withdraws, the shift to rolling reviews sets the stage for contentious negotiations involving North American supply chain rules and low-tariff arrangements critical to automakers, farmers, and energy companies.
