(Feb 12): US President Donald Trump is privately musing about exiting the North American trade pact, people familiar with the matter said, injecting further uncertainty about the deal’s future into pivotal renegotiations involving the US, Canada and Mexico. Both officials spoke on the condition of anonymity and declined to directly address whether Trump was musing about an exit from the trade pact. Greer said on Tuesday that the administration would hold separate talks with Mexico and Canada, arguing that trade ties with Canada are more strained. Even though he negotiated the current system, Trump has soured on the North American trading relationship. Both countries are the US’ two largest trading partners and the top buyers of American goods, according to 2024 trade data.
