The New York Times is seeking firsthand accounts of how the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement has affected businesses and individuals across North America. Trade reporter Ana Swanson, who has covered international trade for over a decade, is collecting stories ahead of a major renegotiation summit scheduled for July 2026.

President Trump has repeatedly criticized the trade deal, calling its predecessor NAFTA the “worst deal ever” and promising improvements or withdrawal. The upcoming renegotiation could impact trillions of dollars in North American trade. The administration is preparing for intense negotiations between the three countries.

The Times wants to hear from business owners, farmers, truckers, customs brokers, and consumers who have experienced the trade deal’s effects firsthand. Submissions are being accepted from people in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
