In 2020, then U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer described the Canada-U.S.-Mexico free-trade agreement (CUSMA) as the “new gold standard against which all future trade agreements will be judged,” after the deal he helped put together was passed in the Senate.

Could they really break up Canada? In recent months — and as recently as last week — separatists have been wooing the Trump administration for support for an independent Alberta. They plan to continue those discussions with the U.S. State Department, and one Alberta Republican even plans to take the campaign further south, to Latin America, to rustle up support...
With the government’s new energy deal with Alberta, including plans for an oil pipeline to the West Coast, Prime Minister Mark Carney is determined to forge a new export route to gain leverage in trade talks with Washington.

Trade talks are reportedly continuing between Canada and the U.S., with formal meetings having taken place since U.S. President Donald Trump revealed more threats and demands last week, a source close to the White House said.
