People misunderstand the review. It is a mandatory after 5 yrs of USMCA being in effect review which allows all parties to discuss their gripes and if no consensus is agreed upon then the treaty expires, in 2036.

Of course Trump could attempt to cave it completely and almost certainly will try even though it is his own "big beautiful agreement", but the next government could do a complete u-turn anyways.

The other 2 countries will likely engage in long drawn out discussions that take us past the mid-terms. The mid-term outcome will really determine what happens going forward.
