  • However, this optimism contrasts sharply with the recent skeptical comments made by US President Donald Trump.
  • The USMCA, which replaced NAFTA, is crucial for trade relations between the US, Canada, and Mexico. The virtual format of the upcoming talks reflects the ongoing adjustments in diplomatic engagements due to various global challenges, including the pandemic and political tensions.
