The Clock Ticks on USMCA: U.S. Demands Risk a Trade Standoff

North America's three-country trade deal faces July 1 deadline. The U.S., Mexico, and Canada must approve a 16-year renewal or begin exiting—a process that takes six years. The Trump administration wants tighter restrictions on Chinese goods, more U.S.-made content in products, and better access to Canadian dairy. Trade officials hint talks may extend past the date, but haven't ruled out full withdrawal if demands aren't met.
