Mexico and the United States are holding bilateral talks in the week before President Donald Trump’s tariffs are set to go into effect.
Mexico’s foreign secretary held a call with Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau on Wednesday. The U.S. State Department said in a statement Landau and Mexico’s foreign minister, Juan Ramon de la Fuente, discussed border security — as well as the need to “strengthen commercial ties and investment opportunities.”
One of Trump’s tariffs slated for next week would be a 25% across the board tariff on goods from Mexico and Canada, which could be a blow to Mexico’s export-heavy economy and raise prices in the U.S.
In addition to the call between Landau and de la Fuente, Mexico’s economy secretary is in Washington, D.C., for talks with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is set to meet with Trump’s Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, on Friday.
