Auto Dealers React to USMCA Passage
Alexandria, VA (January 16, 2020) – Cody Lusk, President and CEO of the American International Automobile Dealers Association (AIADA), which represents America’s 9,500 international nameplate franchises, today released the following statement reacting to the Senate’s 89-10 vote to pass the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Free Trade Agreement:
“Passage of USMCA puts an end to the cloud of uncertainty dealers have been operating under for nearly two years. Once it is signed by the president, and its rules pertaining to autos are finalized, this agreement should provide a framework under which the auto industry in America can continue to grow. Today’s vote is a vote for stability and security for America’s auto dealers and their customers.”
