President Donald Trump has said that he is not seeking a straightforward renewal of the United States' free trade pact with Mexico and Canada, setting the stage for lengthy negotiations in the coming months.

U.S. President Donald Trump says he is not inclined to renew the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on free trade that he signed in 2020.

Trump rejects USMCA reauthorization, pushing bilateral renegotiations instead of a 16-year renewal for the $1.8 trillion North American trade agreement.
