Prime Minister Mark Carney says it’s “no secret” that U.S. President Donald Trump dislikes the Canada–United States–Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) on free trade, after the president said he would prefer to leave the agreement than renew it.
“It’s no secret the president, in recent years, has not been the biggest fan of CUSMA or other trade deals, but there are specific things that we can work together on,” Carney told reporters on June 18 after he was asked about Trump’s comments the previous day.
