Mexico, US Set Three Rounds of USMCA Trade Talks without Canada
The talks will focus on economic security, agriculture and rules of origin as U.S. officials seek changes that benefit manufacturers and farmers.
- Mexican Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard confirmed that officials began the first formal round of trade talks with the United States in Mexico City on May 27, continuing through Friday, with Deputy US Trade Representative Jeffrey Goettman leading the U.S. delegation.
- Ebrard cited the 50% U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum as "unsustainable and unjustified," noting Mexico will propose a "systemic approach" for the automotive sector that does not rely solely on tariffs.
- While USTR Jamieson Greer attended a White House cabinet meeting Thursday, negotiators scheduled a second round of talks for June 16 to 17 in Washington focused on agriculture and "a level playing field."
- Canada-US Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc has held few discussions with Greer since early March, as the U.S. has not launched bilateral talks with Canada. Greer noted "significant" differences with Ottawa that will be difficult to resolve.
- The mandatory review of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement is scheduled for this year, with negotiations focusing on ensuring the USMCA benefits manufacturers, farmers, workers, and businesses of all sizes, including small and medium enterprises.
