Bill > SJR25

This resolution expresses the Alaska State Legislature's support for the continuation and modernization of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and entered into force on July 1, 2020, to create a stable framework for trade and investment. The resolution highlights the mutual benefits of the USMCA, particularly for Alaska, citing significant trade with Canada, including essential resources like petroleum products, metals, and machinery, as well as the positive impact on jobs and small businesses. It also points to the negative consequences of past tariffs on Canadian steel, which harmed businesses and consumers, and urges the federal administration to end disruptive tariffs on Canada and Mexico, emphasizing the importance of these relationships for economic prosperity, national defense, and tourism.
