ALBERTA, CANADA (RFD NEWS) — A substantial Canadian trade delegation is in Mexico this week, aiming to expand trade between the two U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) partners.

RealAg Radio host Shaun Haney joined us on Tuesday’s Market Day Report to discuss why Canada is sending what’s being described as its largest-ever trade delegation to Mexico and what leaders hope to accomplish.

In his interview with RFD NEWS, Haney explained what the move could mean specifically for Canadian agriculture, including opportunities to strengthen market access and deepen trade relationships between the two countries. He also addressed whether the mission is primarily focused on growth or reflects an effort to protect against potential U.S. trade risk as broader North American trade dynamics continue to evolve.
