Canada, Mexico bolster trade pact amid US threats | JQJO

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney visited Mexico for two days to discuss diversifying trade and preserving the USMCA agreement amid US tariff threats. The USMCA is up for review in 2026, and both nations heavily rely on US trade. Discussions focused on mitigating the impact of potential future US tariffs and strengthening bilateral trade, particularly through maritime routes to bypass the US. The visit aimed to improve Canada-Mexico relations, which were strained by previous comments from Canadian premiers. Both countries seek to maintain trilateral trade while also increasing bilateral commerce.
