U.S. Trade Representative Greer to Hold Mexico Talks Monday in Second T-MEC Review Round

The visit tests Mexico’s no‑tariff agenda against U.S. rules‑of‑origin priorities.

Overview

  • Greer’s Mexico City visit, which runs Sunday night to Tuesday morning, features all‑day technical sessions Monday and a meeting with President Claudia Sheinbaum.
  • Mexico will push to scrap U.S. steel and aluminum duties under Section 232 and to speed nearshoring that shifts sourcing from Asia into North America.
  • The United States plans to stress rules of origin, which set how much North American content a product needs to qualify for trade perks, and to protect farm access after 41 senators urged Greer to enforce the pact.
  • Talks will drill into steel, aluminum, autos, and agriculture, with industry representatives joining technical sessions and USTR presenting its formal stance directly to Sheinbaum.
  • Canada is expected to join the formal review in May, and officials say discussions may run past the July 1 six‑year review date, the checkpoint that can extend the pact’s 16‑year term.
