WASHINGTON, D.C. — Canada has signalled that it wants to see the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) renewed for 16 years to preserve trade growth on the continent even as U.S. President Donald Trump renews his calls to make Canada the “51st state” in a post shared to Truth Social.
Dominic LeBlanc, the minister responsible for Canada-U.S. Trade, and Canada’s chief trade negotiator Janice Charette are heading to Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, a day after LeBlanc’s office sent a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and his Mexican counterpart, Marcelo Ebrard, with Canada’s recommendations for CUSMA.
