Summary
The U.S. is ditching the six-year USMCA review and launching a ten-year renegotiation with Mexico and Canada, keeping the current deal alive until July 2036 unless a new one is struck. Talks resume July 20th, as U.S. Trade Rep pushes for fixes to trade imbalances — a political flip-flop from Trump’s earlier praise. Meanwhile, goods meeting USMCA rules still dodge Trump’s April tariffs, keeping trade flowing smoothly for now. The clock’s ticking — what emerges by 2036 remains to be seen.
