The review of the Mexico-US-Canada Agreement (T-MEC) began this week with technical and preparatory meetings. Mexico's Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard will meet US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Wednesday in Washington D.C. Mexico proposes to keep the deal and remove tariffs.
Mexico solidified its position as the top US trading partner in February 2026, with exports totaling $44.3 billion, or 17.5% of total US imports. This marks a significant rise from prior periods, as China dropped to fourth place. The figures come from the US Census Bureau.

China warned Mexico on March 26, 2026, of potential trade reprisals following tariffs imposed in December 2025 on over 1,400 categories of Asian goods, primarily Chinese. The move risks complicating Mexico's USMCA renewal talks with the US. Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard dismissed Beijing's complaints, accusing Chinese firms of state-backed dumping.
Truckers' and farmers' organizations in Mexico will launch a mega-blockade on Monday, November 24, to protest highway insecurity, extortions, and lack of agricultural support. Blockades will affect key highways in Mexico City, State of Mexico, and other states, with closures starting at 6:00 a.m. The United States has also demanded action on thefts impacting the USMCA.
