U.S. President Donald Trump is once again dangling the threat of withdrawing from his country’s free trade deal with Canada and Mexico, even though his trade officials are in talks on renewing it.
Speaking in the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump said he is “not looking to renew” the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) when it comes up for a review on July 1, six years after it took effect.
While the agreement doesn’t actually expire until 2036, any country can withdraw from it by giving six months’ notice.
