As the July 1, 2026 CUSMA/USMCA joint review approaches, CAFTA is reinforcing the importance of a stable, predictable North American trading relationship.

“The U.S. is really the administration that needs to understand how important the agreement is,” said CAFTA Executive Director Michael Harvey.

Canada is the only G7 country without a protective sugar policy. Canadian sugar prices track the world market—supporting competitiveness across the value chain, from refining to food processing to consumers.

Parliament has passed Bill C-202: a flawed bill that undermines Canada’s credibility as a trading partner.

CAFTA calls on the federal government to recommit to rules-based, fair trade and refocus efforts on market access and trade diversification.

[Mario Zelaya @mario4thenorth]

Ronald Reagan perfectly sums up tariffs.

The logic is sound.

Trump could decide on Canada, Mexico tariff relief today: Lutnick https://t.co/EnXFnsUPdw

[Josh Wingrove @josh_wingrove]

Secretary Howard Lutnick, speaking to Bloomberg Television now, says Trump will make a new tariff announcement this afternoon on Canada and Mexico, and that he may cut the tariff in some sectors, like autos, while keeping the rate at 25% for others.

[CAFTA - ACCA @CAFTA_ACCA]

The US tariffs on Canadian & Mexican agri-food imports are a step backward for North American trade. They raise costs, disrupt supply chains & hurt consumers & producers on all sides. CAFTA urges a return to free, rules-based trade.
