U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Mexican Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard launch bilateral trade talks without Canada

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Mexican Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard formally launch bilateral trade talks to begin the 2026 USMCA review process without Canada at the table. Both signal that the review will be "more bilateral than trilateral," with certain issues potentially handled trilaterally only when necessary. The move follows months of Trump administration tariffs on Canadian goods and open hostility toward Canadian trade policy.
