Illinois farmers cheer USMCA move amid tariff threat
The Illinois Farm Bureau hailed the US Mexico Canada trade pact as a timely step while President Trump weighs 5 percent tariffs on Mexican goods rising to 25 percent by October. Illinois relies on Mexico for nearly $10 billion in 2017 trade and about 200,000 jobs depend on it, with Caterpillar and John Deere among exporters. Senate leaders oppose new tariffs and lawmakers warn they could jeopardize USMCA.
