Trump says he "would rather not have" his North American trade deal

President Donald Trump stated that he 'would rather not have' the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), the North American trade deal negotiated during his first term. He expressed uncertainty about whether the agreement should be extended, noting that he 'may sign it.' The USMCA is set for a mandatory joint review by July 1, with discussions currently involving only Mexico, as Canada has not been at the table. The potential collapse of the agreement could disrupt key industries reliant on cross-border supply chains.

Bias read (Right): The article presents Trump's explicit criticism of the USMCA, emphasizing his preference for not having the agreement. While it includes some context about the potential impact on industries, the framing highlights Trump's skepticism toward the deal, which aligns with a right-leaning perspective. No
