WASHINGTON, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Major automakers including

General Motors ( GM ), Tesla, Toyota Motor ( TM ) and

Ford urged the Trump administration to extend a North

American free trade deal they call crucial to American auto

production.

The automakers made the comments in filings with the U.S.

Trade Representative's Office ahead of the 2026 formal review of

the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement but all suggested

changes.

A group representing the Detroit Three automakers said USMCA

"enables automakers operating in the U.S. to compete globally

through regional integration, which delivers efficiency gains"

and accounts "for tens of billions of dollars in annual

savings."
