Trump Leaves Door Open on USMCA Future During Meeting with Carney

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney speaks during a meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House, Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2025, in Washington. 


President Donald Trump struck a cautious but cordial tone during his Oval Office meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, signaling uncertainty over the future of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).

Trump suggested that while the trade pact could be renegotiated, he was equally open to pursuing separate bilateral deals with Canada and Mexico. “We could renegotiate it, and that would be good, or we can just do different deals,” he said, adding that the priority was securing “the best deal for this country, and also very much with Canada in mind.”

Carney, making his second White House visit since taking office, pressed for relief from U.S. tariffs on steel, autos, and other key Canadian exports. While Trump praised Carney as a “world-class leader” and emphasized the “mutual love” between the two nations, he also described the U.S.-Canada relationship as one of “natural conflict” due to overlapping industries.

The meeting comes ahead of next year’s scheduled review of the USMCA, a deal critical to Canada’s economy, with more than three-quarters of Canadian exports heading south of the border. Despite the warm personal rapport between the two leaders, no concrete progress was announced on tariffs or the broader trade framework.

For Carney, the visit was as much about optics as outcomes. Analysts noted that simply keeping negotiations alive amid Trump’s unpredictable trade agenda may be considered a modest success.
