U.S. Pushes Harder on Auto Trade Rules

The U.S. is pushing hard to rewrite North America’s auto trade rules under CUSMA, demanding 82% regional content and 50% U.S.-made parts — a move that could disrupt the auto industry and pit Canada against Mexico. While Mexico is being directly pressured and Canada is sidelined in formal talks, its trade minister hopes for a balanced deal. Experts warn the U.S. may be trying to fracture the trilateral agreement, using Mexico as a softer target before turning to Canada. Though Canada may be less affected by the U.S. content rule, the broader trade tensions and looming July review could force tough choices — with some suggesting Canada wait for political shifts in the U.S. to secure better terms.
