Industries to join Greer's Mexico trip

Industries are set to join U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on a trip to Mexico this week for the third round of bilateral talks updating the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. The delegation is expected to include representatives from sectors such as agriculture and steel, according to sources familiar with the plan, who requested anonymity because discussions are closed-door. Greer’s three-day visit to Mexico City begins Wednesday, where he will meet with President Claudia Sheinbaum and Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard. Negotiations are expected to address topics including steel and aluminum derivatives, automobiles, labor, economic security, agriculture and e-payments. The administration is expected to keep statutory text unchanged to avoid congressional votes, using interpretive arrangements, annexes, or side letters instead. The article also notes that Canada has faced tariff threats from President Donald Trump.
