CUSMA July Showdown: Carney vs Trump - Part 1
CUSMA is heading toward a high-stakes review — and the personalities at the table may matter as much as the policy. In this episode of True Patriot Love, we break down how we got here, and why July could reshape Canada–U.S. trade.
Host Paul is joined by Jim Lang to trace the history, the power dynamics, and the pressure points driving the next round of negotiations.
In this episode, we cover:
• How free trade evolved from the 1980s into NAFTA, then CUSMA
• Why leadership personalities (Reagan/Mulroney vs Trudeau/Trump vs Carney) can change outcomes
• The real-world impact on autos, steel/aluminum, tariffs, and cross-border supply chains
• Why cost of living + inflation could dominate the public mood around trade
• The looming “elephant in the room”: energy leverage and what comes next
