The provision specifies that if one of the current North American Free Trade Agreement partners enters a free trade deal with a "non-market" country such as China,
Canada's agreement with China is NOT an FTA. It only covers a limited number of products, like EVs, which Trump doesn't want produced by USian companies anyway.
Carney says Canada not pursuing free trade deal with China as Trump threatens 100% tariffs
Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Carney said that the country respects its obligations under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico trade agreement, known as CUSMA in Canada and the USMCA in the U.S., and will not pursue a free trade agreement without notifying the other two parties.
Under the agreement, Canada will allow 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles into the market annually at a lowered tariff rate of 6.1%, after raising tariffs on such vehicles to 100% in October 2024 in conjunction with the U.S.
In return, Beijing will cut duties on Canadian agricultural exports, including on canola seed oil, which will see tariffs drop to 15% from March 1, down from the current 85%.
