Lutnick slams Canada's trade strategy

The trade agreement known as USMCA is up for a formal review in the coming months, and the Trump administration is expected to seek significant changes.

Lutnick described the current iteration of the deal as 'bad' and called for it to be 're-imagined' to better serve American interests.

Canadian officials have pushed back, defending their strategy and emphasizing the importance of the integrated North American supply chain.

The escalating rhetoric signals a potentially contentious period for the special relationship between the two neighboring nations.
