Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has suggested his country could cut a deal with the U.S. without Mexico.

Canada wants Mexico to stay in a continental trade pact despite concerns about China possibly using it as a back door to flood the North American market, a source directly familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.

Canada’s point person for U.S-Canada relations says she shares U.S. concerns about Mexico serving as as back door for China into the North American market as a review of the U.S.

Canada would like to see the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade pact continue but may have to look at other options depending on what choices Mexico makes, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Thursday.

Trudeau said he would prefer the North American free trade agreement to remain in place, but that Ottawa was 'leaving all doors open' to secure Canadian interests.
