The resolution expresses the Alaska State Legislature's strong support for the continuation and modernization of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which was established to enhance trade relations between the three countries. It highlights the benefits that Alaska has experienced since the agreement took effect on July 1, 2020, including increased trade with Canada, which exceeded $1 billion in imports and over $614 million in exports in 2024. The resolution emphasizes the importance of stable trade relationships for the state's economy, particularly for small businesses and the tourism industry, and notes the significant employment provided by Canadian businesses in Alaska.

Furthermore, the resolution calls for the federal administration to work towards ending disruptive tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods, which have negatively impacted trade and consumer prices in Alaska. It underscores the need for a cooperative approach to trade that fosters efficient supply chains and strengthens national defense partnerships. The Alaska State Legislature urges the federal government to take advantage of the upcoming 2026 joint review of the USMCA to improve the agreement and remove existing trade barriers. Copies of the resolution will be sent to key political figures, including the President of the United States and members of Alaska's congressional delegation.
