The Mexican government has held its part toward the US, Mexico and Canada trade agreement, also known as the USMCA agreement, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said this week during a press conference.
Obrador said Mexico has met all commitments it has agreed to in order to ratify the agreement, and urged that the agreement “not be postponed,” with risk of a “delay” in the expected timeline for the agreement to be ratified by all three countries.
Mexican foreign relations minister, Marcelo Ebrard Casaubon, said meetings with US policymakers in the past month “had been successful.”
As reported by SteelOrbis, the Mexican government was expecting a November deadline for the US House of Representatives give the go-ahead approval for ratification.
US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi reportedly said on Monday that a version of the USMCA trade agreement that House Democrats could back was “within range” but that they needed to conduct a final review, according to a Reuters media report this week.
