Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said American concerns about Mexico’s trade policy not being in line with its North American allies on China are “legitimate,” and she shares them.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has called for Canada to negotiate a bilateral trade agreement with the U.S. unless Mexico aligns with North American partners on tariffs for Chinese imports.

Saying Mexico allows itself to be a 'backdoor' for China to skirt heavy Canadian and U.S. tariffs, Doug Ford is urging an end to the USMCA.

The premier of Canada’s largest province wants the country to negotiate its own trade agreement with the US, unless Mexico aligns itself with its North American partners on Chinese imports.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford appears to be dipping his toe into new territory — talking about removing Mexico from the North American trade agreement.

OTTAWA — Ontario Premier Doug Ford says if Mexico continues to be a “backdoor” for Chinese goods, Canada and the U.S. should think about forging a bilateral trade deal. Canada, the U.S. and Mexico ratified a three-way trade deal in 2020 that is up for review in 2026.
