Joint Statement from Ambassador Jamieson Greer and Mexican Secretary of Economy Marcelo Ebrard

WASHINGTON - The Office of the United States Trade Representative and Mexico's Secretariat of Economy held the second round of bilateral negotiations related to the Joint Review of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) on June 15-17, 2026, in Washington, D.C.

In addition, today U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Mexican Secretary of Economy Marcelo Ebrard met to discuss the Joint Review and bilateral trade relations.

During the round, the U.S. and Mexican teams advanced discussions on rules of origin for certain industrial goods and economic security, and began conceptual discussions on agriculture, labor, and environment. The teams also discussed trade in steel, aluminum, and automobiles.

The negotiations focused on ensuring that the Agreement benefits the U.S. and Mexican economies and that the benefits of the Agreement accrue primarily to the parties.

In addition, the United States and Mexico agreed to support the establishment of a committee to review the implementation of Chapter 12 (Sectoral Annexes) of the USMCA to enhance regulatory compatibility.

The third round of negotiations will take place next month, in Mexico City, Mexico.
