CUSMA Not Ending July 1

Canada’s ambassador to the U.S. is calming nerves over CUSMA’s looming July review, clarifying it’s not an expiration date but a chance to renew the deal for another 16 years — with the pact staying alive until 2036. While tariffs on steel, aluminum, and autos hurt Canada’s economy, talks are focused on fixing those issues, and U.S. officials seem open to keeping the core agreement intact. Trade Minister LeBlanc is also pushing for complementary U.S. deals, sensing progress despite lingering disputes like softwood lumber and dairy — reminding everyone that strong neighborly trade is smart business.
