AF&PA Celebrates New Chapter For NA Trade Under USMCA Pact American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) President and CEO Heidi Brock issued the following statement re- garding the newly implemented U.S. – Mexico – Canada Agreement (USMCA), which marked its entry into force this week: “The American Forest & Paper Association recog- nizes that today is a historic day marking the entry into force of the U.S. – Mexico – Canada Agreement (USMCA), which will preserve free and fair trade in North America and commit the countries to combat illegal logging and associated trade. “AF&PA celebrates this day as a new chapter for North American trade. The USMCA will bring about improve- ments and modernized approaches that strengthen exist- ing supply chains. Especially now, as we face the COVID-19 global pandemic together, the USMCA will increase man- ufacturing capacity and investment in North America, pro- viding stronger labor protections and expanded market access to help keep the economy and our industry going at this critical time.”
