LeBlanc says Canada seeking clarity after U.S. opts for annual CUSMA review

Following the U.S. decision to implement annual reviews of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), rather than extending it until 2042, Canada expressed concerns over the lack of clarity regarding the new process. Canadian Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc stated that the annual review mechanism is unprecedented and lacks clear structure, creating uncertainty for future negotiations. The U.S. approach could lead to a 10-year review cycle, after which the agreement would expire unless extended. Mexico's Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard similarly emphasized the need for a defined roadmap for the reviews. Both Canada and Mexico hope to maintain the current agreement while exploring bilateral talks to address specific tariff issues outside CUSMA's scope.
