On July 1, 2020, the USMCA trade act (United States-Mexico-Canada Act) phased in as a trade agreement guiding economic trade and growth in North America. Nolan Johnson spoke with both Shawn DuBravac, IPC’s chief economist, and Chris Mitchell, IPC’s vice president of global government affairs and an I-Connect007 columnist, about the impact of USMCA on North American electronics manufacturing.
DuBravac and Mitchell use the automotive industry as just one example of how the electronics manufacturing networks in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico are interwoven. They discuss the interaction between pre-existing market forces, such as tariffs and the coronavirus, and the intended goals of the USMCA. Together, DuBravac and Mitchell outline not only the competing forces at play but also IPC’s ongoing work to facilitate stronger regional economics in North America.
