Investing.com reports the agenda covered automotive supply chains, the steel and aluminium tariff regime, and a border-security framework.
While Investing.com did not detail the final text or specific tariff decisions from this round, public records show Mexico remains the largest US trade partner with annual exports exceeding $500 billion. The Sheinbaum government has called for tariff reductions and practical arrangements consistent with the spirit of the USMCA; Washington in turn is seeking concrete steps on border-security cooperation.
