Formal talks to review the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement start next Wednesday. Mexico aims to sidestep electoral pressures and focus on regional economic stability.

Formal T-MEC negotiations will begin on May 27. President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that Mexico is in no rush to close a quick deal and seeks a long-term perspective for the three economies.

Sheinbaum stressed that November elections in the United States should not influence the process. Mexican officials held recent meetings in Washington and Canada to advance commercial issues.

Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard anticipated that reviews may not be conclusive right away. Mexico prioritizes reducing uncertainty rather than signing under pressure, according to statements at the El Financiero Forum.

Recent data show Mexican exports to the United States grew 5.1 percent in the first quarter. However, vehicle and auto parts sales fell 11.3 percent due to current tariffs.

Following preparatory meetings in Washington, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer visited Mexico to meet President Claudia Sheinbaum, Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard, and business leaders. They agreed to launch formal T-MEC review negotiations the week of May 25 in Mexico City, with Mexico pushing to eliminate tariffs on steel, aluminum, and automobiles ahead of the July 1 review.

Marcelo Ebrard, secretary of Economy, stated that Mexico will improve its relative position against the United States due to Donald Trump's announced 10 percent global tariff. The official noted that the average effective tariffs on Mexican exports will drop from 4.1 percent to around 2 percent. Meanwhile, Mexico's inflation rose to 3.92 percent in the first half of February, driven by new taxes and tariffs on Asian imports.
