What July 1 means for CUSMA, Canada’s trade deal with the U.S. and Mexico
environment / draft
Canada, the U.S., and Mexico have a trade deal called CUSMA. The U.S. decided not to renew it for a long term, triggering a yearly review. U.S. officials say the deal has problems and they have trade deficits with the other countries. Even though renewal was rejected, the deal stays in place for now, but could end after about ten years if issues aren't fixed. This means trade relations between the three countries will continue under review and potential uncertainty.
