Prime Minister Mark Carney is rejecting the prospect of America exiting the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) following remarks from a senior trade representative that Washington is considering pursuing individual deals with Canada and Mexico.

Carney briefly addressed the issue on Dec. 11, a day after U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said that the United States is leaving all options “on the table” regarding the USMCA and is already exploring the option of separate trade deals with both countries.
