Expert Urges Canada to Boost U.S. Trade Diplomacy Ahead of CUSMA Review

Dawson says Ottawa needs a larger U.S. outreach effort as 2024 trade with Texas totaled $75.2 billion, with CUSMA review nearing.

  • The Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement faces mandatory review this year as U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer advanced talks in Mexico this week, while formal negotiations between Washington and Ottawa remain stalled.
  • Canada ranks as Texas's second-largest trading partner, with Texas importing $38.6 billion in goods from Canada in 2024 and exporting $36.6 billion, yet mounting political tensions have obscured these deep economic ties.
  • Texan Herman Moreno said outside a Houston grocery store last week 'Canada better straighten up, bro,' while retired NASA employee Scott Curtis assumed 'Canada is more dependent on the U.S. than we are on them.'
  • Expert Dawson argues Ottawa must make an 'institutional investment' in Canada-U.S. diplomacy, noting Germany, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Britain and France maintain 'highly, highly invested' outreach that Canada has neglected for years.
  • Energy Minister Tim Hodgson's March appearance at CERAWeek in Houston signals one engagement avenue, yet Canada must amplify its trade message to prevent being conflated with other foreign traders amid ongoing tensions.
