PM Mark Carney announced Canada’s openness to deeper US‑Mexico trade integration in strategic sectors ahead of the CUSMA review.
Carney said if deeper ties stall, Canada will pour investment into markets and products, aiming to double non‑U.S. exports in a decade.
The CUSMA review slated for July will be contentious amid U.S. tariffs on steel, aluminum, automobiles and Chinese EV import concerns.
Canada is pursuing trade talks with India and Mercosur, making the CUSMA outcome crucial for its export strategy into the late 2020s.
