Overview
- Mexico and the United States describe negotiations as advanced, but Mexico says there is no final agreement or set date to conclude talks.
- Mexico’s secretary of economy is working directly with U.S. trade treaty officials and the U.S. Department of Commerce on technical negotiations.
- A central Mexican demand is removal or reduction of U.S. tariffs that include a 50 percent levy on steel and aluminum and a 25 percent tariff on many autos.
- President Sheinbaum has insisted Mexico will protect its sovereignty and national‑security prerogatives as part of any deal with Washington.
- The talks sit inside a broader review of the US‑Mexico‑Canada Agreement after the U.S. suspended automatic renewal and carry high stakes for integrated supply chains, exports and jobs.
