Mexico and US outline new security, migration, and trade agreement in the 11th hour of tariff extension
"We have several meetings at APEC and we need to see what position President Trump will take [on tariffs]. After that, I can provide detailed information on what will happen,"
"We believe we will reach a very successful conclusion in the first week of November. Agreements will be reached with Jamieson Greer (head of the Office of the United States Trade Representative) that reflect important advances in security, border, and trade competitiveness,"
Mexico is seeking to defuse a possible U.S. tariff increase by negotiating a new bilateral collaboration on security, migration, and trade. A temporary truce on raising tariffs from 25% to 30% expires next week, prompting both governments to prepare commitments to curb migration, fentanyl trafficking, and the arrival of Asian imports to North America. The Economy Ministry expects the agreement to be finalized during the first week of November at the APEC forum in South Korea. Mexican officials say negotiations include increased immigration surveillance along the Rio Grande and potential Mexican tariffs on Asian automotive, telecommunications, and electronics imports.
