Canada: USMCA could face annual reviews
TORONTO (AP) — Canada’s minister for U.S. trade says the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement could be subject to annual review and that uncertainty could be the objective of the Trump administration. LeBlanc told a business audience in Toronto that he will meet with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer late next week in Washington ahead of the mandatory review of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement in July. LeBlanc says if there’s no consensus in the review the agreement continues but then there’s an annual review that starts that will cause uncertainty. Trump has talked about getting the U.S. automakers to close factories in Canada and move them to the U.S.
