Trump Hits Pause on CUSMA, Now What?

Loading player...
Yesterday, Canada, the United States and Mexico came together to discuss the mandatory review of their trade agreement, CUSMA. The discussion isn't a hard deadline, more of a checkpoint to see where all countries are, and if one were to exit the agreement, that process could take up to 10 years. While Canada and Mexico have stated they'd like to continue the 16-year agreement, the U.S. aren't exactly on the same page.

Howe Institute in Toronto, joins guest host Brent Loucks to bring us up to speed on what you need to know about the CUSMA review.
