Danielle Smith ‘1,000 per cent’ in favour of ousting Mexico from trilateral trade deal with U.S. and Canada

1 comment

1. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has expressed support for potentially excluding Mexico from the trilateral free trade agreement with Canada and the U.S., citing concerns over Mexico’s economic alignment with China. In a recent interview, she emphasized the importance of prioritizing Canada’s trade relationship with the U.S., which significantly outweighs its trade with Mexico. Ontario Premier Doug Ford echoed this sentiment, suggesting a bilateral agreement between Canada and the U.S. could be more beneficial. However, former Canadian officials like Derek Burney caution against such a move, arguing it could be seen as provocative and that Canada should focus on strengthening its own relationship with the U.S. amidst ongoing concerns about Mexico’s economic practices. This discussion raises questions about the future of North American trade dynamics and the implications of shifting alliances.
