Mexico Rebukes Trump’s Bilateral Talk, Says T‑MEC Changes Require Formal Review

Mexico’s foreign minister says the government is preparing for next year’s scheduled review to secure favorable terms through a strict legal process.

Overview

  • President Donald Trump said the North American trade pact could be renegotiated or replaced with separate deals with Mexico and Canada.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum responded that the T‑MEC is law in all three countries and that altering it would demand a very deep review with legislative steps.
  • Foreign Minister Juan Ramón de la Fuente stated Mexico expects a review rather than a renegotiation in 2026 and pledged to pursue outcomes that favor producers, workers and social development.
  • U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer accused Mexico of falling short on commitments in energy, telecommunications and agriculture, claims Mexican officials say have largely been clarified.
  • Observers warned that additional U.S. tariffs, including a planned 25% levy on heavy trucks in November, would violate the pact and damage integrated supply chains in both economies.
