Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is getting a mixed but generally positive reaction in his own country to the outcome of the past year’s trade dispute with the Trump administration. While few view the deal as a huge win, the emerging consensus is that Trudeau steered Canada clear of a disaster by preventing the destruction of the North American Free Trade Agreement framework, now dubbed the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA.

“The early reaction has been pretty positive given the threats that are there on the table and the worry about NAFTA disappearing,” said Edward Alden, senior fellow at Council on Foreign Relations and former Washington bureau chief for the Financial Times. “The Canadians were able to preserve [the framework of] NAFTA and the concessions were fairly modest. We’ll see what the response is in Quebec and Ontario over dairy. It’s small numbers but politically sensitive.”
