Ontario Premier Doug Ford is predicting U.S. President Donald Trump will call for an early renegotiation of the existing free trade agreement between Canada and the United States, potentially as soon as this fall.

Ford told reporters at an Aug. 6 press briefing at Queen’s Park that U.S. President Donald Trump could “pull the carpet out from underneath us” at any time when it comes to renegotiating the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
