Overview
- President Donald Trump told workers at Ford’s Dearborn plant that the agreement is irrelevant to the United States and said the country does not need products made in Mexico or Canada.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum said she is convinced cross-border trade will continue, arguing that tightly linked supply chains and U.S. business support underpin the pact’s durability.
- Senator Alejandro Murat reported active outreach with industries and talks with Canadian parliamentarians to keep the accord on a firm legal track and pursue a strengthened outcome.
- Oxford Economics warned that the review most likely yields an adverse result for Mexico, with a failed renegotiation scenario bringing back tariffs and eroding competitiveness while the U.S. faces limited overall impact.
- Opposition leader Ricardo Anaya called the treaty vital for Mexico, citing roughly 85% of exports and about 12 million jobs tied to it, as the agreement faces a formal three-country assessment on July 1, 2026 that could trigger a 16-year extension or annual reviews.
