Latest Market Alert | 22 June 2026
Executive Summary
Reuters reports that Canadian, Mexican and U.S. officials are scheduled to meet on July 1 for the first trilateral meeting to review the USMCA trade agreement. Reuters has also reported President Trump saying the U.S. “would do better” without the agreement, while noting that USMCA underpins nearly $1.6 trillion in annual trilateral trade.
The review comes at a sensitive point for manufacturers, logistics firms and investors that rely on deeply integrated North American supply chains.

Why It Matters
USMCA supports cross-border production across automotive, agriculture, energy, electronics and industrial manufacturing. Any uncertainty around its future could affect investment decisions and sourcing strategies.
UK Commercial Impact
UK exporters, manufacturers and investors with North American exposure may need to monitor tariff risk, rules-of-origin changes and supply-chain contingency planning.
Global Commercial Impact
A more uncertain USMCA environment could influence investment flows into Mexico, Canada and the U.S., particularly where companies have used North America as a nearshoring alternative to Asia.
Our View
This is an early warning signal rather than an immediate disruption. Clients with North American exposure should treat the USMCA review as a strategic supply-chain risk event.
