WASHINGTON — Canada is backing U.S. efforts to push back against what they consider protectionist energy policies in Mexico that violate North American trade rules.
Alice Hansen says Canada agrees that Mexico's policies are inconsistent with its obligations under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, referred to in Canada as CUSMA. "Canada has consistently raised its concerns regarding Mexico's change in energy policy. We agree with the United States that these policies are inconsistent with Mexico's CUSMA obligations," Hansen said in a statement.
The two countries have been regularly at odds over how Canada uses the agreement's rules to provide U.S. dairy producers access to the supply-managed market north of the border. And the Biden administration only agreed earlier this month to lift Trump-era tariffs on Canadian-made solar products imposed back in 2018.
Doing so would"make home construction and homeownership more affordable for communities across our country," Menendez and Thune wrote Monday in a letter to Tai and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.
