US, Canada and Mexico Hold 3 Bilateral Trade Talks to Avoid USMCA Vote
3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 13
Summary
Separate bilateral talks among the US, Canada and Mexico are underway to address trade irritants without reopening the core structure of the USMCA, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said.
Carney said Trump administration officials have made clear they want to avoid changes to the deal’s “fundamental architecture,” because that could trigger a vote in Congress.
The approach keeps negotiations focused on narrower disputes rather than sweeping revisions to the North American trade pact, preserving the existing framework while the three countries manage tensions.
