The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) is the trade treaty that replaced NAFTA in 2020, governing trade and investment between the three countries. On 2026-05-21, UAW President Shawn Fain publicly called for USMCA to be *upended or scrapped altogether*, attributing the loss of millions of American auto-manufacturing jobs over the past several decades to USMCA and its NAFTA predecessor. Fain's verbatim framing: *"Where it didn't eliminate jobs entirely, it slashed wages and benefits."* American and foreign-based automakers have publicly called for USMCA to be preserved, putting the 400,000-member UAW directly opposite the industry's trade-policy position.
