The United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement is an established trade policy agreement among the US, Mexico and Canada, implemented in 2020 with a mandatory review after six years. As that review unfolds, its chances of being extended seem increasingly bleak.  A failure to renew USMCA will mean disrupting the highly interconnected North American food system where, for example, Canadian wheat can be ground into flour in the US, shipped back to Canada to be baked into pastries or bread, which can then be sold in either country.

A Darnell Nurse – Morgan Rielly trade makes sense for the Edmonton Oilers Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Sun: The Edmonton Oilers have 31-year-old Darnell Nurse under contract through 2029-30 at a $9.25 million salary cap hit. He has a full no-trade that kicks to a 10-team no-trade clause after next season. The Toronto Maple Leafs have 32-year-old Morgan under contract through 2029-30 at a $7.5 milion cap.

The latest leg higher came late last week after the U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio signaled reduced risk of further military escalation…
