U.S. President Donald Trump says he would prefer to leave the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) instead of renewing the trade deal that he negotiated during his first term.

“I would rather leave it unsigned. I'd rather have it terminated. … I may sign it, but I would rather–we do better as a country if we don’t have an agreement,” Trump told reporters while at the G7 Summit in France on June 17.
