  • Dave
    AM800 is reporting the Canada,Us and Mexico are right now n egociating the CUSMA agreement. To my knowledge the review has come and gone on July1 and the review won't take place til July1 of 2027. Please explain what is going on?
    • You’re right, Dave! The main review date was set for July 1, 2026. However, during that meeting, Canada and Mexico supported extending the agreement for another 16 years, while the United States declined to extend it in its current form. As a result, under the terms of the agreement, the countries are now required to hold ongoing negotiations and annual reviews rather than simply wait. Radio news reports are covering the new, regular discussions that are taking place right now. Thanks for listening to us!
