Overview
- USTR chief Jamieson Greer said several disputes will not be settled by the July 1 review date under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, known as T-MEC.
- Greer said Washington may notify Congress and even begin withdrawal steps allowed under the pact to keep negotiations moving.
- He said the United States will pursue separate protocols with each partner, with talks already underway with Mexico and discussions with Canada planned.
- Greer said President Donald Trump is unhappy with outcomes under the deal, pointing to rising U.S. imports of cars, steel and aluminum from its neighbors.
- Under T-MEC’s Article 34.7, the six-year review can extend the pact for 16 more years if all three agree, or it shifts the deal to annual reviews if any party withholds consent.
