Abstract
In November 2018, after more than a year of negotiations by representatives from Canada, Mexico, and the United States, the United States Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) was signed by leaders from the three member states, replacing the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The Trump Administration viewed the successful renegotiation of NAFTA as one of its signature achievements and argued that the USMCA “solves the many deficiencies and mistakes in NAFTA.” One of the key revisions in the USMCA was the partial removal of investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS), the primary mechanism that had been used to enforce the investor protections guaranteed by NAFTA.
