Trump Did Not Threaten to End North American Trade Deal, Carney Says

Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that U.S. President Donald Trump has not indicated a desire to withdraw from the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) during their recent discussions. Carney met with Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to discuss the upcoming review of CUSMA, set for 2026, while U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer suggested potential separate deals or a U.S. exit could be on the table. Despite ongoing U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods, Carney defended Canada’s trade position and emphasized the need for improved terms. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre criticized Carney for failing to secure agreements on reducing these tariffs.
