Canada not worried U.S.-Mexico trade talks will upend trilateral deal, LeBlanc says
Canada emphasizes Mexico's pledge to maintain a trilateral USMCA renewal as formal US-Mexico talks begin before the July deadline, with progress noted since last October.
- On Monday, Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc affirmed Mexico remains committed to the trilateral Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement , dismissing concerns that Mexico might pursue a separate bilateral deal with the United States.
- U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer stated earlier this month that Canada was lagging behind Mexico in renewal negotiations, though LeBlanc noted the tone of discussions improved since President Donald Trump suspended talks in October.
- LeBlanc based his confidence on direct conversations with Mexican cabinet secretaries and President Sheinbaum, emphasizing that Canada remains focused on a trilateral agreement including all three North American partners.
- By July 1, all three nations must signal their intent to renew the deal; if they fail, a 10-year countdown begins with mandatory reviews occurring annually until the pact's expiry.
- Negotiators are pushing for stronger North American content rules for "non-automotive industrial goods," while the U.S. also seeks increased collaboration on economic security-related tariffs, export controls, and investment screening among the three countries.
