Arlington, Virginia — Today, American Trucking Associations President and CEO Chris Spear issued the following statement:
“Cross-border trade with Mexico supports 47,000 U.S. jobs in the trucking industry, so America’s truckers appreciate President Trump and Mexico avoiding tariffs and addressing the immigration crisis. Free, fair and equitable trade with Mexico is of critical importance to our industry, which moved $424 billion in goods across our southern border last year.
“I hope this positive step will pave the way for finalizing the USMCA trade agreement.”
