Canada has formally proposed renewing the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement
(USMCA) for 16 years to avoid triggering the pact’s statutory annual review. In
a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Jamison Greer and Mexico’s economy
minister Marcelo Ebrard, Minister Dominic LeBlanc said parties may propose
improvements to boost North American competitiveness, that Canada expects
ongoing engagement with the U.S. and Mexico, and that parallel talks with the
U.S. to resolve industry tariff issues are critical.
