Canada formally proposes to renew the US-Mexico-Canada agreement

On June 3, according to Canadian media reports on the 2nd, the Canadian government has proposed to the United States and Mexican governments to renew the "U.S. -Mexico-Canada Agreement." According to reports, Dominica LeBlanc, the Canadian government's Minister for Canada-US Trade, proposed in a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Jamison Greer and Mexican Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard that the free trade agreement be renewed for 16 years to avoid triggering the statutory annual review process. LeBlanc said in the letter: "One or both parties to the agreement may wish to propose improvements in certain areas to enhance North America's competitiveness. Canada looks forward to maintaining continued engagement with the United States and Mexico." He added: "It is crucial to have parallel discussions with the United States on resolving industry tariffs." (Xinhua Agency)
