"In February, Trump bashed the USMCA deal he set up during his first administration, while threatening 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, saying both countries were responsible for enabling fentanyl trafficking into the US. After several rounds of negotiations and exemptions, scattershot tariffs remain in place on some goods not covered under the deal. Trump has said he wants renegotiations with better terms for US manufacturers."
""We will move forwards together," Carney told a press conference Thursday after being asked if Canada would consider going around Mexico to get a better deal. Carney said the two leaders were "committed" to the USMCA, crediting it with making North America "the economic envy of the world." "Part of the reason for that is the cooperation between Canada and Mexico We complement the United States. We make them stronger. We are all stronger together," he added."
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to coordinate positions ahead of the 2026 USMCA review and ongoing public consultations. US President Donald Trump has threatened tariffs and called for renegotiations, including threats of 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, arguing responsibility for fentanyl trafficking. Some tariffs remain in place on goods not covered by the pact after exemptions and negotiations. Carney and Sheinbaum signaled commitment to the USMCA and emphasized North American economic integration, saying cooperation between Canada and Mexico strengthens the region and the United States.
