Top American trade negotiator Jamieson Greer said the Trump administration may make separate trade deals with Canada and Mexico instead of renewing the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) next year.

Greer said during a Dec. 10 discussion held by the Atlantic Council think tank that his country might make different deals with the two nations because the American trade relationship with Canada is “very different” than its relationship with Mexico.
