US Launches CUSMA Review Amid Trade Turbulence

The U.S. is gearing up to review the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), a pivotal moment as President Donald Trump continues to reshape continental trade dynamics with his aggressive tariff policies. This marks the official start of public consultations that will run for 45 days, paving the way for a thorough examination of the trade pact.

What’s on the Agenda?

A preliminary notice released by the U.S. Trade Representative outlines a public hearing scheduled for November, marking a significant milestone in renegotiating this sweeping deal that the Trump administration initially inked during its first term. Although Trump has been critical of the agreement, labeling it as merely "transitional," it has so far shielded both Canada and Mexico from his broader tariff strategies on global trade.
