Canada, Mexico and the United States scheduled their first trilateral meeting for July 1 to start formal negotiations around the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement review, La Jornada reported on June 2.

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative submitted a letter to the USMCA secretariat calling for a trilateral meeting on July 1, following discussions between U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and his Canadian counterpart Dominic LeBlanc on June 2. Mexico submitted its letter on June 1, calling for a 16-year extension of the treaty to provide certainty for investors. Canada used the same argument when submitting its document earlier on June 2. The exchange of letters occurred at the beginning of the one-month period preceding the July 1 USMCA review deadline, which marks the pact's sixth anniversary.
