Sheinbaum Reasserts USMCA as Law, Courts Investors With 'Plan México' Ahead of 2026 Review

Mexico signals readiness to defend the trilateral pact through formal review channels to preserve stability.

Overview

  • President Claudia Sheinbaum said the USMCA is enacted law in Mexico, the United States and Canada, stressing that any change would require a very deep, formal review in all three countries.
  • She presented Plan México to business leaders from 17 countries at Palacio Nacional, outlining goals to strengthen the domestic market, raise wages and reduce imports from non‑treaty countries.
  • Targets highlighted include 26,000 megawatts in new CFE generation with 158 transmission projects, a Pemex production framework of 1.8 million barrels per day, 1.7 million new homes and expanded university and high‑school places.
  • Officials said Mexico is preparing sector consultations led by the Economy Secretariat for the 2026 review and that many U.S. technical concerns have been clarified, with automotive and steel among the items still under discussion.
  • Foreign Minister Juan Ramón de la Fuente voiced confidence that the agreement will hold, as World Economic Forum leaders cited Mexico’s strong potential and, per one account, Salesforce announced a $1 billion investment over the next four years.
