President Donald Trump expressed uncertainty over the future of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) during his meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the White House on Tuesday.
Trump said he is open to either renegotiating the pact or pursuing “different deals” if they better serve U.S. interests.
Carney’s visit came ahead of next year’s USMCA review, as tensions rise over tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum.
