WASHINGTON — United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer says he doesn’t expect negotiations on the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade to be resolved by July 1.
That’s the required deadline for the United States to notify its neighbours about its plans for the trilateral trade pact, known as CUSMA.
The CUSMA review sets up a three-way choice for each country.
They can renew the deal for another 16 years, withdraw from it or signal both non-renewal and non-withdrawal — which triggers an annual review that could keep negotiations going for up to a decade.
