Why Trump's quitting CUSMA would freeze the Canadian economy

February 19
10 mins

Episode Description

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss reports that the Trump administration plans to negotiate separately with Canada and Mexico on CUSMA, rather than trilaterally. They examine how this strategy maximizes U.S. leverage, the implications of prolonged trade uncertainty for Canadian investment and manufacturing, and why Mexico appears better positioned in its relationship with Washington.
