Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum held a phone conversation Thursday and called for the renewal of the North American trade agreement as quickly as possible, according to a statement from Carney’s office.
The two leaders emphasized the importance of renewing the Canada United States Mexico Agreement, saying that a new agreement would create greater stability and certainty for businesses and workers throughout North America.
Their call came amid uncertainty over the future of the trilateral trade deal, with US President Donald Trump previously suggesting that the United States could benefit more without the agreement.
Carney and Sheinbaum also discussed developments in trade between Canada and Mexico. They highlighted the importance of maintaining strong cooperation between the two countries to support regional economic growth and security.
The Canadian prime minister also expressed appreciation to Sheinbaum for Mexico’s assistance during Canada’s wildfire season this summer. Mexico sent more than 400 firefighters and other personnel to help Canadian authorities respond to the fires.
Both leaders agreed to maintain close communication as negotiations and discussions over the future of North American trade continue.
