Trump Says He’s ‘Not Looking to Renew’ North American Free Trade Deal
Trump said he is not looking to renew the pact, raising uncertainty for autos and other industries as talks continue over tariff relief and concessions.
- President Donald Trump declared on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, that he is "not looking to renew" the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement ahead of the July 1 deadline. He claimed the United States does not require imports from either nation.
- Retaliatory tariffs on American goods remain a major obstacle, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said. Premier Doug Ford confirmed on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, that American wine and spirits will remain barred from provincial retail shelves until a broader agreement is secured.
- Washington has "technical issues" with Mexico and 30 trade issues with Canada of "varying technicality," Prime Minister Mark Carney noted last week. These disputes complicate the path toward a renewed agreement between the three North American nations.
- While the United States has reported progress in discussions with Mexico, Greer suggested that relations with Canada remain more challenging. Negotiations regarding the trilateral pact are intensifying as the three nations face a milestone that could alter the trade framework.
- If the countries fail to extend the pact by July 1, the agreement will remain in force subject to annual rolling reviews for up to 10 years. This process allows any party to exit the deal entirely with six months’ notice.
