Mexico has been taking a bashing for allegedly serving as a conduit for Chinese parts and products into North America.

Canada wants Mexico to stay in a continental trade pact despite concerns about China possibly using it as a back door to flood the North American market, a source directly familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.

Canada's point person for US-Canada relations said on Tuesday that she shares US concerns about "Mexico serving as a back door for China to import cheaper goods into the North American market," as a review of the trade pact known as the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement looms,

The leader of Canada’s most populous province says all of the country’s provincial and territorial premiers want Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's federal government to negotiate a bilateral trade deal with the United States that excludes Mexico.

Saying Mexico allows itself to be a 'backdoor' for China to skirt heavy Canadian and U.S. tariffs, Doug Ford is urging an end to the USMCA.

Canada would like to see the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade pact continue but may have to look at other options depending on what choices Mexico makes, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Thursday.

Mexico’s president acknowledged Thursday that Canada is concerned about reports of a Chinese company’s plan to build an auto plant in Mexico, but she said it does not currently exist. President Claudia Sheinbaum said she talked recently to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and that he assured her he did not support

Meeting between the countries' leaders comes amid calls in Canada for that nation to enter a bilateral trade deal with the United States.

Trudeau said he would prefer the North American free trade agreement to remain in place, but that Ottawa was 'leaving all doors open' to secure Canadian interests.
