Overview

  • The Department of Labor allocated $23.4 million to strengthen enforcement of labor law in Mexico under USMCA provisions.
  • ILAB will administer the projects to advance accountability for Mexico’s labor commitments and protect U.S. workers and firms.
  • Funding is split between $15.4 million for Partners of the Americas to build cross‑border partnerships and $8 million for Creative Associates International to deliver training and capacity‑building.
  • Initiatives target priority sectors in Mexico that compete with U.S. companies to address practices that suppress wages and distort competition.
  • The U.S. Embassy in Mexico highlighted the effort as consolidating the country’s labor‑justice system, a framing reported alongside recent media coverage of President Trump’s criticisms of the pact.
