US EditionUSTR Greer says US-Mexico-Canada pact talks may run past July 1 deadline
Greer said the U.S. wants to fix as many issues as possible before the review, but bilateral talks with Canada and Mexico may continue.
- On Tuesday in Washington, Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said negotiations regarding the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement will continue past the July 1 review deadline.
- President Donald Trump "has been clear that he is dissatisfied with a lot of the outcomes," Greer said, citing surges of auto imports from Mexico and steel and aluminum imports from both countries.
- Greer stated the United States will likely layer "two separate protocols" over the existing agreement to address differing labour and trade profiles with Canada and Mexico.
- By June 1, Trump must notify Congress of his administration's intentions regarding the pact; technical discussions with Mexicans have begun, while talks with Canada are expected to commence in May.
- Signaling intent on July 1 requires countries to either renew the agreement or initiate an exit, which triggers a 10-year withdrawal process providing space for potential alterations.
