U.S. Rules of Origin Proposal Widely Opposed
Written by Sandy Williams
It’s on the table: the U.S. proposal for rules of origin for NAFTA automobiles.
On Friday, the Trump administration made its demand for 50 percent U.S. content in NAFTA-produced cars and trucks and an increase of North American content from 65.2 percent to 85 percent. The increase for U.S. content would be made within the first year of signing a new NAFTA agreement and the regional content would be phased in over a period of years.
