U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer visited Mexico to meet with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Mexican Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard, with the governments agreeing to hold the first bilateral negotiations for the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement trade pact review the week of May 25 in Mexico City, Bloomberg reported on April 20. Greer also met with Mexican auto and steel industry companies, telling them not to expect the USMCA renegotiation to remove U.S. tariffs on their sectors.

The three countries have a self-imposed deadline of July 1 to decide on the USMCA extension for another six years, from 2036 to 2042 (though the deal could come after this deadline). If negotiators do not reach a deal, the USMCA would enter a period of annual reviews until 2036, after which the pact would be terminated absent an agreement.
