On paper, the U.S. could renegotiate CUSMA/USMCA every year until the agreement expires in 2036.
Bu the Trump administration official said it's not in the interests of the U.S. to drag the talks on for a decade. "I think we need to come to a conclusion quickly if possible."
Here's the other piece I wrote yesterday:

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick intervened to stop the opening of a bridge between Canada and Detroit and is pushing for a cut of revenues and other provisions as part of a deal, per sources. The White House backs Lutnick’s gambit. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
At the very moment President Trump was threatening not to renew #CUSMA #USMCA, Republican members of Congress and key leaders of the agriculture industry were praising the trade deal on Capitol Hill.

Today, Michael Schumpp, Senior Director of International Affairs at the Meat Institute, testified before the House Agriculture Committee to highlight the critical benefits that the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) has had for the U.S. agriculture sector and rural economies.
The Meat Institute supports renewing USMCA for another 16-year term as provided under the agreement, while addressing any issues through existing consultative mechanisms rather than renegotiation. The Meat Institute also supports the preservation of common meat product names.

Shocking. The @Mets let a rookie wear Gary Carter’s number 8.
The @Montreal_Expos would never do such a thing to my baseball hero, may he rest in peace.
