USMCA joint review (held July 1, 2026 — no extension confirmed)
At the first six-year joint review on July 1, 2026 the United States did not agree to renew USMCA in its current form, while Canada and Mexico supported a 16-year extension. The agreement stays fully in force and duty-free preference is unchanged, but it now moves to annual joint reviews under Article 34.7 until the three parties confirm an extension or the agreement expires on July 1, 2036. Bilateral U.S.–Mexico negotiating rounds continue; every North American supply chain that relies on USMCA preference now carries year-to-year renewal risk.

IEEPA border tariffs on Canada (struck down)
25% tariffs on non-USMCA-qualifying Canadian goods (10% on energy and potash), imposed March 2025 over drug-trafficking concerns after a one-month pause. USMCA-originating goods were exempted days after the tariffs took effect. The Supreme Court's February 2026 IEEPA ruling voided the program; paid duties are potentially refundable.
IEEPA border tariffs on Mexico (struck down)
25% tariffs on non-USMCA-qualifying Mexican goods, imposed March 2025 over border-security and drug-trafficking concerns after a one-month pause, with USMCA-originating goods exempted days later. The Supreme Court's February 2026 IEEPA ruling voided the program; paid duties are potentially refundable.
U.S.–China reciprocal tariff truce (expires November 10, 2026)
The May 2025 Geneva agreement suspended the triple-digit escalation between the U.S. and China; the November 2025 Kuala Lumpur arrangement extended the suspension through November 10, 2026, leaving a 10% reciprocal rate in place. The Supreme Court's February 2026 ruling voided the underlying IEEPA tariffs, but the truce still frames negotiations: as of June 2026 both sides have discussed terms for restoring tariffs under other authorities, and the truce's expiry remains the pivotal date in U.S.–China trade.
Current rate: Heightened reciprocal rates suspended; 10% rate remained during suspension (voided Feb 2026)
