“Our industry welcomes forward movement on a revised U.S. – Mexico – Canada agreement and looks forward to reviewing the details as the measure makes its way to Congress. U.S. pulp and paper exports to Mexico and Canada support 88,000 direct American jobs and in 2018 amounted to $10.1 billion or 44 percent of total exports.
