CUSMA’s Annual Review Throws Trade Into Chaos | Edmonton News
Description
The U.S. ditched the long-term Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement, replacing it with an annual review process designed to renegotiate trade terms—primarily targeting Canada’s trade deficits. This shift introduces crippling uncertainty for businesses, forcing them to brace for yearly U.S. demands that could include tariffs or other barriers. Key industries like auto, lumber, and energy are especially vulnerable, with companies now facing potential disruptions and higher costs. Both sides can weaponize the process—Canada may push back by encouraging U.S. firms to relocate north, while the U.S. could target weaker Canadian sectors. The result? A volatile, unpredictable trade environment that could reshape supply chains and force businesses to adapt—or retreat.
