USMCA should be renewed for 16 years, LeBlanc writes to U.S. and Mexico
LeBlanc says the pact benefits all three economies as Ottawa pushes for a mandatory review renewal before the July 1 deadline.
- On Tuesday, Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc confirmed Canada recommends renewing the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement for another 16 years, describing it as "highly beneficial" to the integrated North American economy.
- The recommendation responds to the pact's mandatory review process, which requires the three countries to decide by July 1 whether to renew, withdraw, or trigger annual reviews.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney noted the United States is pursuing "bifurcated" talks, having raised 30 issues with Canada and 60 with Mexico, while U.S.-Mexico negotiations have already begun.
- LeBlanc traveled to Washington today to meet with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, joined by Chief Trade Negotiator Janice Charette to advance bilateral negotiations.
- President Donald Trump has criticized the agreement as irrelevant, a stance that may complicate renewal efforts despite Canada's push for a long-term commitment.
