## Summary

On 10 June 2026, President Trump said the US is "not looking to renew" the
[Usmca](/ar/entity/usmca) ahead of the 1 July joint-review deadline. Under Article 34.7, declining the
16-year extension does not kill the deal; it triggers annual reviews for up to ten years.
The pact governs roughly $2 trillion in trilateral trade and shields about 90% of
Canadian exports from tariffs. [Canada](/ar/entity/canada) (PM Carney) seeks tariff relief and calls
Trump's tariffs treaty violations; [Mexico](/ar/entity/mexico) (President Sheinbaum) pursues de-escalation,
and the two have formed a common front. A trilateral virtual meeting was set for 1 July.
China-linked supply-chain screening is a central US demand.

## Why it matters

Forgoing a clean extension keeps the pact alive but converts it into a decade of annual
reviews, chilling long-term investment across autos, electronics and agriculture.
