CUSMA in Flux as Canada Pushes Back

CUSMA’s future hangs in the balance as Trump signals no renewal by July 1st, triggering automatic annual reviews. U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra says tough talk opens the door for Canada to make its case, while Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc counters with concrete proposals and recent Washington meetings. Ontario’s Doug Ford hints at U.S. alcohol returning once a deal is done, and LeBlanc downplays the July deadline as a transition—not a cliff. He also suggests separate U.S.-Canada and U.S.-Mexico deals could pave the way for CUSMA’s extension—or Canada will protect the trilateral framework if needed.
