NAFTA is a North American Regional Economic Cooperation consisting of the United States, Mexico and Canada. NAFTA was renegotiated on November 30, 2018 to become USMCA at the G20 Summit in Argentina. The United States is the country that initiated NAFTA into USMCA since the beginning of President Donald Trump's administration. This research aims to determine the reasons for the United States initiating the change from NAFTA to USMCA. The data used is data from 2012-2018. This research uses Graham T. Allison's Decision Making Model Theory. Based on data from WITS WorldBank, it is stated that the United States experienced a trade balance deficit against Mexico and Canada when NAFTA was operating. Apart from that, the United States is also experiencing the problem of declining employment numbers due to the United States' efforts to increase the country's economic growth. These factors were the reason the United States initiated the change from NAFTA to USMCA.
