USMCA Review Triggers Trade Uncertainty as Ports Adjust Operations

A review of the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement has begun as officials assess the $2 trillion annual trade deal ahead of potential expiration. The uncertainty is already reshaping logistics operations across North America. South Carolina Ports is pausing container terminal operations to manage costs amid the unpredictable trade environment. Meanwhile, Oregon's Coos Bay port secured a $25 million federal grant for a ship-to-rail intermodal facility. This reflects efforts to strengthen supply chain resilience during the period of trade policy uncertainty. Gateway ports continue reassessing operations strategy as stakeholders await clarity on USMCA's future. Trade negotiations may reshape logistics flows throughout the region in coming months.
