Canada sidelined in USMCA renegotiations as domestic economy dips
Canada has been excluded from recent USMCA renegotiations as its economy faces challenges.

- ▪The US wants to raise the regional content requirement for vehicles under the USMCA to 82 percent, with 50 percent produced in the US.
- ▪Canada's economy contracted by 0.1 percent in the first quarter, marking the second consecutive quarter of decline.
- ▪US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will negotiate with Mexico and present Canada with a take-it-or-leave-it proposition.
