The Trump administration is initiating early negotiations to amend the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) prior to its scheduled review in July 2026. This move aims to strengthen American auto jobs and counter the influence of Chinese companies in the Mexican automotive sector. Key changes are expected to tighten auto sector regulations to prevent U.S. factories from relocating and to restrict Chinese imports through Mexico. Additionally, Trump is considering a significant tariff on products from Canada and Mexico due to ongoing concerns about cross-border drug and migrant issues, as well as alleged violations of metal export agreements by Mexico.
