, “Although the United States, Canada, and Mexico fall under the free trade zone of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), the agreement has become practically ineffective due to President Trump’s tariff policies. In response to such actions by the United States, Canada and Mexico have also announced retaliatory tariffs. However, the White House stated on that day that tariffs on automobiles would be deferred for one month.”,
