U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer says he is hopeful interim arrangements will be provided to the leaders of the United States, Canada and Mexico before the end of the year as negotiations continue over renewing the continental trade pact, CUSMA. Greer also frames the process as a set of possible “options,” indicating that the U.S. is working toward proposals that can be presented to President Donald Trump and the other two countries’ leadership. The outlets report that Greer’s comments come as the U.S. maintains pressure through tariff-related threats, while he suggests negotiations are still moving toward solutions by year-end. Canada-focused reporting also notes that Greer’s remarks include a defense of the tariff threat, alongside expectations that arrangements will be submitted at the leaders’ level in time for consideration. Overall, the sources agree that the key timeline for delivering CUSMA renewal material is the end of the current year, and that the U.S. intends to share alternatives rather than a single finalized package at this stage.
