Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc says he is optimistic about the prospect of United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) discussions leading to a renewed trilateral deal.
“There are the private, government-to-government-to-government conversations, which are not discouraging. They are proceeding,” LeBlanc said during a fireside chat at Canadian Club Toronto, adding that he is “not pessimistic” about the USMCA being renewed.
