United States won’t renew trade pact with Canada, Mexico

Canada and Mexico wanted 16-year extension to trade pact

By Murray Sherriffs

United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer says that the United States is not renewing the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade.

Greer says that the agreement will remain in place, as negotiations continue.

An annual review will take place during the coming decade or until a new deal is signed.

If no extension is agreed to, the trade agreement will expire.

Canada and Mexico were pushing for a 16-year extension.

The trade agreement shields Canada and Mexico from many of President Trump’s tariffs.
