Automakers and others watching the talks are concerned that reopening the deal could create additional trade uncertainty that leads to lower investments and fewer jobs.<\/p>\n<p>A consortium of U.S. trade groups representing most automakers, dealers and suppliers on Wednesday voiced support for a trilateral deal like the countries currently have.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We urge the leaders of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico to swiftly reach consensus on an extension of USMCA that preserves the existing trilateral partnership, returns to preferential treatment for qualifying goods, and continues the stability and predictability that has helped the industry thrive for the past six years,&#8221; they said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/interstatemovingexpertss.com\/?p=845\">5 takeaways from President Donald Trump\u2019s interview with CNBC<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ford reports it assembled over 2 million vehicles in the U.S. last year \u2013 more than any other auto manufacturer, including 311,000 units for export.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":851,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-autos"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
