Summary
U.S. industry officials from sectors including agriculture and steel will join Jamieson Greer in Mexico City starting Wednesday for a three-day third round of bilateral USMCA review talks.
Greer is set to meet President Claudia Sheinbaum and Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard as negotiators discuss steel and aluminum derivatives, autos, labor, economic security, agriculture and e-payments.
Some negotiating text has already been shared with relevant industries, according to people familiar with the plans, even as the Trump administration aims to avoid reopening statutory text that would require a congressional vote.
The talks come as Trump again threatened tariffs on Canada over wildfire smoke, drawing a rebuke from Ontario Premier Doug Ford and underscoring wider North American trade tensions around the pact review.
