The official added that Trump “has already changed the nature of the U.S.-Canada-Mexico trading relationship” prior to Wednesday’s deadline through his tariffs.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, in a statement released while the call was ongoing, said the Trump administration “will continue to engage with Mexico and Canada to address the Agreement’s shortcomings.”

The USMCA was negotiated during Trump’s first term to replace the previous, 26-year-old trilateral trade pact known as NAFTA, which Trump frequently excoriated as a raw deal for the U.S.

When the new deal came into effect in July 2020, Trump touted it as “the fairest, most balanced, and beneficial trade agreement we have ever signed into law.”

But Trump’s enthusiasm for USMCA has recently waned, coinciding with mounting strain on the U.S. relationships with its two neighbors.

“I don’t know that I’m going to renew it,” Trump said of USMCA in June. “We don’t need anything that Canada has. We don’t need anything that Mexico has, but they need everything that we have. And they have to treat us better.”

Trump has long complained about the U.S. sustaining trade deficits with its economic partners. Seeking to address that perceived unfairness and force other policy changes, Trump in his second term imposed a series of tariffs on nearly every country, including Mexico and Canada.

Trump’s tariff regime has since been stymied by court losses.

The U.S. and Mexico had already begun a series of bilateral negotiations that are scheduled to continue past the July 1 deadline date. The U.S. and Canada have not started their own talks, however.

They can wait it out. The rest of the world has laready discovered that Trump will fold if you stand up to him, and you can safely ignore him until he is gone. You cannot and should not negotiate or rely on the word of a senile madman.

Any country that cannot do that for its future is not a sovereign nation at all

Another brilliant move by this outstanding businessman. I always said that only a gigantic buffoon, perhaps the biggest retard on the planet would propose what was likely the worst deal in the history of Man. What kind of fat grotesque fool would dismantle NAFTA and then agree to such a trade deal? Trump is a visionary tor giving us the opportunity to finally break free from such an agreement so unbelievably bad that the US president who dared allow this to happen should be mocked for all eternity.
Keep fighting the good fight my glorious president! You can continue to count me as part of your flock!
MAGA

That image is an unfair comparison. No way is Baron Harkonnan as evil, self serving and destructive as Trump.

You (supposedly) voted for it.

Free trade is dead. Big business killed wages by outsourcing every well paying job.
