Mexico, U.S. Agree to Dialogue on Economic Issues, USMCA Review
Mexican and U.S. officials have agreed to ongoing and open dialogue on economic matters, including strengthening regional supply chains and enhancing the traceability of foreign investments.
The discussion took place during a meeting at the White House on Wednesday, according to Mexican Deputy Foreign Trade Minister Luis Rosendo Gutierrez. He noted that public consultations on the revision of the USMCA North American trade pact are set to commence soon, with the review remaining scheduled for 2026.
"We have not yet discussed tariffs," stated Gutierrez. "We were well-received by all economic sectors, and the aim is to initiate a persistent exchange of information next week."
Previously, President Donald Trump threatened to impose 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada. However, he delayed the implementation by a month on Monday after receiving commitments from both countries to address drug trafficking and immigration. Mexico agreed to deploy 10,000 National Guard troops to its border.
Gutierrez indicated that he traveled to Washington on Monday at the request of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to meet with officials from the Trump administration.
