    World In 5 | Jul 02 — Trump refuses to renew US-Canada-Mexico trade pact
    Jul 2 2026
    In a stunning U-turn, former President Donald Trump has refused to renew the US-Canada-Mexico trade pact, a deal he once touted as one of his greatest achievements. The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, was set to expire in 2036, but Wednesday was the deadline for the three countries to jointly decide its fate.
