Carney Says Tone with U.S. Already ‘Quite Firm’ as Trade Talks Continue
Carney said Canada is keeping talks constructive as negotiators seek relief from 50% U.S. tariffs on a broad range of goods.

- The annual review can be renewed each year for up to 10 years, though CUSMA would expire in 2036 if the three countries fail to agree on a path forward.
