We (Canada) literally signed the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement for trade in 2020... with Donald Trump. Trump this February said "Who would ever sign a thing like this?" and proceeded to make up the story about fentanyl coming from Canada as a pretense to ignore this deal. So there was certainly more than a pinky promise.

Additionally your senate just signed law to repeal the tariffs against Canada specifically so I don't know what other receipts or paperwork you'd like here. Not that I expect Trump to adhere to that of course, but I've never heard the perspective of "well these weren't signed agreements" for things that clearly were.



Yep, he’s doing to other countries what he’s done to contractors, plumbers, and other tradesmen for years.

That bill won't pass the crazy house, but yes, CUSMA was signed law.


There is a technicality in normal times, though: ratifying treaties negotiated by the President only need to pass the Senate.
