TORONTO (AP) — Canada is calling on the United States and Mexico to renew the free trade agreement among their three countries for another 16 years just as U.S. President Donald Trump revives talk of making Canada the 51st state.
Dominic LeBlanc, Canada's minister for U.S. trade, sent a letter Tuesday to U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Mexico's Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard conveying Canada's recommendation.
"The Agreement is highly beneficial to each of our countries and to the integrated North American economy," LeBlanc wrote.
