Trump is unlikely to rip up CUSMA, his trade deal with Canada and Mexico. Here's why

Despite U.S. President Donald Trump once again flexing his power to scrap his country's free trade deal with Canada and Mexico, there's plenty of reason to doubt he would actually follow through on such a threat.

Trump signed the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) in his first term and at the time boasted of it as "the most modern, up-to-date, and balanced trade agreement in the history of our country."

This term, Trump has dismissed CUSMA as irrelevant, floated letting it expire and reportedly mused to aides about withdrawing.

On Wednesday, he told reporters at the White House he is "not looking to renew" the agreement when it faces a review on July 1.

However, "not looking to renew" the deal is not the same as terminating it.

Even without a renewal, the agreement remains in force until 2036. That changes only if a country gives six months formal notice of its intention to withdraw.
