US Expects USMCA Trade Talks With Mexico to Include Tariffs

The United States expects tariffs will be included in trade negotiations with Mexico this week, but renewing the North American agreement with Canada could be challenging, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said May 26.

“President [Donald] Trump is concerned about our deficit with Mexico,” Greer said during a conversation with the Council on Foreign Relations, a nonpartisan think tank in Washington, D.C. “The U.S. is going to have tariffs, even with [a country like] Mexico, or another country in our hemisphere.”
