The Trump administration is demanding what amounts to an “entry fee” from Canada to engage in trade talks toward a revised Canada-United States-Mexico Free Trade Agreement (CUSMA), four sources told Radio-Canada.
“The Americans are setting conditions before negotiations begin,” said one high-ranking individual familiar with the matter.
Three sources used the term “entry fee” to describe concessions the U.S. administration is seeking before formal trade talks begin.
“[U.S. President Donald] Trump wants us to make a lot of concessions before we sit down at the table,” Charest told Radio-Canada. “Meanwhile, he wouldn’t make any.”

He doesn’t really know how to negotiate. He just extorts.
This failing empire doesn’t have the leverage it thinks it has. Considering we are in the middle of an event that could collapse it entirely, it’s in our best interest to wait and see how things play out. It’s the US that’s under pressure to rush.
JFC. Stay strong Canadians; you don’t need us. If Dems retake control come back, but cautiously. Clearly our shithole country is far too unstable for too much of an investment at this time.
You cannot negotiate with a narcissist devoid of credibility. He goes back on his word every day.
Trump’s Art of the Deal: “I am altering the deal, pray I do not alter it any further.”
More like “I am altering the deal before we made a deal, it’s the best deal ever, I can’t believe you wouldn’t agree to my deal, I’m gonna change it even more now”
Read the room dude. No one likes you. I’m fact they hate you so much they are about to cut all of America out of their lives.
