By Zoila Palma: Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has declared that Mexico will not sign any agreement with the United States that compromises the country’s sovereignty, as negotiations continue over the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
Sheinbaum said that the United States has opted to conduct separate negotiations with Mexico and Canada rather than hold trilateral discussions.
She explained that Mexico is conducting its own consultations with Washington and is not participating in negotiations between the United States and Canada, ua reports.
The talks include US tariffs on Mexican steel, aluminum and automobiles, with Mexico seeking improved conditions for its exports and opposing additional tariffs on key economic sectors.
Other issues under discussion could include intellectual property and the recognition by Mexico’s health regulator of certain US pharmaceutical patents.
Sheinbaum stressed that Mexico is willing to discuss trade and economic cooperation, provided its ability to make independent decisions is not restricted.
