Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc spoke from Washington, D.C. on Tuesday after meeting with his American counterpart, Ambassador Jamieson Greer. LeBlanc penned a letter, released Tuesday, calling on his counterparts in the U.S. and Mexico to renew the current Canada-U.S.-Mexico trade agreement (CUSMA) for another 16 years as trade negotiations move forward. LeBlanc called it a "positive meeting," adding "we had an opportunity to take stock of progress that had been made over the last number of weeks on a series of technical issues and we presented a number of specific proposals to Ambassador Greer that we think are good in the broader context of the North American economy."
