Canada Strong: Diversifying Trade Beyond US Amid CUSMA Uncertainty

Canada's trade negotiating team was rescued by Prime Minister Mark Carney from a five-alarm shakedown attempt by their major trading partner last week.

The questions on everyone's mind are what now and what next for the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA)?

Carney challenged Canadians to focus on building a strong economy, stating 'focus on what can control, and build a Canada strong for all.'

Canada is a trade-dependent economy, with exports making up 31.3% of GDP in 2025.
