NAFTA and the Automotive Industry: What Will Keep America Competitive?

There is little doubt that upcoming proposals and policy changes impacting trade could profoundly affect the automotive industry. Now is the time to explore the potential impacts of renegotiating or modernizing the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and implementing other critical trade rule changes.
MEMA, which represents the largest sector of manufacturing jobs in the US, will host a timely and lively discussion on the ways that NAFTA has helped the industry grow over recent years and what complexities would be involved in changing the rules. The discussion will also explore how prepared American companies are to reshore jobs to the US.
What changes to NAFTA would help support a level playing field while not harming American businesses? How do we find a path forward for motor vehicle parts suppliers and the automotive industry? We sincerely hope you will join us for this important dialogue that aims to answer these and other critical questions.
