U.S. declines to renew North American trade pact

The Trump administration has declined to renew the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) in its current form following its mandatory six-year review, leaving the trade pact in force for up to another 10 years with annual reviews while negotiations continue over proposed changes.

The U.S. is seeking tougher North American rules of origin for automobiles and other industrial goods, aiming to reshore manufacturing, reduce trade deficits and limit China's access to the regional trading bloc. Talks with Mexico are due to resume later this month, and Canada has also pledged to continue negotiations while seeking relief from U.S. tariffs on steel, aluminum, vehicles and lumber. The USMCA underpins around $1.6tn of annual trade between the three countries, and industry groups, including automakers and agricultural exporters, have urged governments to preserve the agreement.

The CMA is also considering requiring Apple to open access to its near-field communication technology to enable third-party contactless payment services on iPhones.
