US Won't Renew USMCA Trade Deal

The US will not renew the trade deal with Canada and Mexico, opting for annual reviews instead, while keeping USMCA in place for another decade absent an exit. The change introduces ongoing policy uncertainty around cross-border trade terms rather than an immediate breakup. Likely near-term downside is mostly expectations-driven for sectors exposed to USMCA rules.
