Trump administration 2024-2028

Carney is off to DC on Friday.

Any expectations of positive news on the trade front coming out of this? Negative news on the trade front out of this?
 
He going down to kiss the ring for his who cares comments.
Maybe
I think Sheinbaum is going to be there as well for the FIFA event. I really don't expect anything to come out of this. I believe that the trade file is going to be 'closed' now and moved over to the CUSMA negotiations going forward. With the USSC ruling shortly, more than likely against Trump, there really is no reason for us to spend more effort on this. Let the USSC make their ruling, deal with Trump's reactionary fallout from it and focus on CUSMA.

I think it highly likely that Trump will use withdrawal from USMCA as a threat to coerce / bully the other parties to the agreement.

Yes - and we look to have some Allies within the US who will help us.


U.S. industry groups strongly back renewing CUSMA​

Manufacturers praise Trump for signing agreement in his first term, urge him to preserve it​


Julian Karaguesian, an international trade expert who read through a sample of 50 submissions, tells CBC News that their overall tone broadly favours keeping the agreement intact.

"It's very careful and polite, but it's overwhelmingly in support of, or asking for renewal of CUSMA, with as much elimination of tariffs as possible," said Karaguesian, formerly a special adviser on international trade with Canada’s Department of Finance, now a visiting lecturer in economics at McGill University in Montreal.

Karaguesian says industry groups are making the case to the Trump administration that Canadian and Mexican supplies are integral to their operations and that the two countries’ markets are important to the success of their businesses.

"The government of Canada has hundreds of small-, medium- and large-scale private sector allies," he said.
