Bill > SJR25

This Joint Resolution expresses the Alaska State Legislature's strong support for the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, commonly referred to as the USMCA, which is a trade pact established during the first administration of President Donald Trump to modernize and replace the older North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Providing important context about how vital Canadian trade, petroleum, metals, and machinery are to Alaska's economy and its thousands of local jobs, the resolution formally urges the federal government to further improve and extend the agreement during its upcoming 2026 joint review, eliminate restrictive tariffs like those previously placed on steel, encourage seamless cross-border travel for commuters and tourists, and ultimately foster a system of completely free and predictable trade between the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
