The resolution expresses the Alaska State Legislature's support for the modernization and improvement 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's implementation 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 negative impact of tariffs on Canadian steel imports.

Furthermore, the resolution calls for the federal administration to work towards simplifying border crossings and establishing a system of free trade with Canada and Mexico. It underscores the significance of secure and efficient border crossings for commuters and travelers, which can foster goodwill and trust among North American countries. The Alaska State Legislature reaffirms its commitment to extending the USMCA and urges the federal government to remove barriers to trade, thereby enhancing economic growth and cooperation between the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
