Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Friday, April 24, 2026, as the two countries prepare for the formal review of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) later this year.

According to a readout from the Prime Minister's Office, the leaders discussed a range of topics, including the upcoming CUSMA review and shared priorities for North American competitiveness. They reaffirmed their commitment to the trilateral trade pact, which is scheduled for a joint review in 2026.
