Greer to travel to Mexico City this week for USMCA negotiations

Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will be in Mexico City from Wednesday through Friday for the third bilateral negotiating round related to the Joint Review of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement on trade.

Negotiating teams will convene for three days to advance discussions on issues regarding trade in steel and aluminum and derivative products, automobiles, economic security, labor, agriculture and electronic payment services, USTR said in a news release.

Greer will also meet with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum at the National Palace to discuss progress in negotiations related to the USMCA Joint Review.

“I thank Secretary [Marcelo] Ebrard and his team at the Secretariat of Economy for their collaboration over several months to reinforce the U.S.-Mexico bilateral trade and economic relationship,” Greer said in a news release, “This work has yielded many successes, including recent progress on issues identified in the 2026 National Trade Estimate Report on Foreign Trade Barriers. I look forward to building on this progress to ensure that the U.S.-Mexico trading relationship benefits U.S. manufacturers, farmers, ranchers, workers, service suppliers, and businesses of all sizes, and closes any loopholes that would allow free-riding by non-parties.”
